Marshall County 4-H Blog

We have created a Survival Guide with important details and contact information. We hope this will help new and returning members! 

This event is open to volunteers, Jr. Leaders, and 4-H Judges. It will be on February 24 at the KNOY Center in Cloverdale, IN. It is a great opportunity for volunteers to get new ideas, receive training and meet peers from other counties. Below you will find the registration information. If you have questions or would like more information please contact the Marshall County Extension Office at 574-935-8545.

Please follow the link to learn more about YQCA trainings coming up in Marshall County and information about the new program. This program is required for members who show livestock at the Marshall County 4-H Fair as well as the Indiana State Fair. https://extension.purdue.edu/Pages/article.aspx?intItemID=27983  

It is the intent that the 4-H member take responsibility for caring for and grooming his/her own animals. However, it is recognized that all youth need assistance. The purpose of this program is to provide an avenue for equal access to qualified animal grooming assistance. Those enrolled in this program should not see this as a way to do the work for the 4-H member, but should provide hands-on learning opportunities that further the skills and abilities of the 4-H member.  The Indiana 4-H approved animal grooming assistance form can be filled out by following  this link.  This is due by July 1, 2018.

We are excited to invite all young ladies in grades 8-12 to the 2018 Young Ladies of Agriculture event at the Horizon Convention Center on Wednesday February 21. Please see the flyer, agenda and registration form for more information.
