Jackson County 4-H Round Up
Jackson County Activities
4-H Round Up takes place in the Spring of the year and is open to all 4-H’ers, plus if a 4-Her is interested in getting a project pin then he/she must do a public speaking or a visual demonstration in the project area to be eligible. There are also opportunities during the day for the Cloverbud’s to participate.
This is an excellent opportunity for Jackson County 4-H to shine. In the past our largest number has been 100 participants. As the program Assistant I would love to see the program grow by at least 50 every year. So I expect to see at least one participant from every club. The only question is what you are as a 4-H’er going to do this year. So fill out your form and get it in as soon as possible and get ready for a great day.
