Hello 4-H Families,

Spring is finally here and that means that the 2019

Montgomery County 4-H Fair is right around the corner.

Please take the time to read through the newsletter to help

answer questions you may have and stay up-to-date on

upcoming deadlines and opportunities.

The biggest deadline coming up, that pertains to ALL 4-H

youth is the deadline for adding/dropping projects and

enrolling livestock. This deadline is May 15th

. If you have

questions about enrollment, adding/dropping projects, or just

general 4-H questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Extension

office at (765)364-6363 or e-mail [email protected] and I

would be happy to assist!
