To help everyone prepare for districts and state, the Lancaster County 4-H Horse VIPS Committee is hosting a special pre-districts show/clinic/fundraiser. All counties are welcome. The show will follow the district format and all age groups — elementary, junior and senior — can participate. All age groups can compete for prizes in a Hippology Contest. This will be an excellent opportunity for all 4-H riders to practice for districts. It will also be a great opportunity for elementary age riders to experience the district format even if they aren’t yet old enough for state.

The annual Friends of Extension and 4-H garage sale will be June 1 (from 8 a.m.-6 p.m.) and 2 (from 8 a.m.– noon) at the UNL Douglas/Sarpy Extension central office; 8015 W. Center Road. Cash only please.

If you have questions about Friends of Extension and 4-H foundation please contact Connie at 402-444-7804.

This county contest for ages 12-18 is a Lancaster County Super Fair 4-H Contest. 4-H Life Challenge judging contests help youth learn more about issues related to family and consumer science (FCS). Contest questions will be based on the following 4-H curriculum areas: food and nutrition, child development, design and wardrobe. Preregister by May 31 by calling 402-441-7180 (there is no entry form). This is separate from the statewide Life Challenge Contest to be held June 25-26 on UNL East Campus, Lincoln.
