4-H Council
What is county 4-H Council??? 4-H Council is a group made up of
two members and one leader from each club in the county. They meet
six times a year to direct county programming and policies.
Representatives can give input and advice into future programming,
help set up county activi-ties like the carnival and achievement
program, learn leadership and meeting skills by participating in
county council meetings, and also take part in district and state
leadership activities.
When does county 4-H Council meet??? 4-H Council typically meets
the third Monday of Jan-uary, March, April, June, September and
November. They typically meet at the Courthouse Annex (Extension
Office) at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise posted.
How do I get involved???? Be sure to let your club leader know
that you are interested. County council representatives are
usu-ally chosen when your club elects officers. You can also serve
as an alternate representative if your reg-ular representatives
can’t attend a meeting.

2020-2021 Enrollment
Are you ready for 4Honline 2.0?? Our online database is being
updated and will look a bit different for this year’s enrollment
year. Please be patient as the state transitions our data. We are
anticipating the program to be down for the entire month of October
so re-enrollment would not start until November 1st.
What we know: All enrollments will still be done utilizing
co.4honline.com. The new site will look different but will contain
the same information. It is also much more mobile friendly than the
old program!
Any family with an enrolled member or leader in the past few
years ALREADY has a profile in the system.
Please DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT! If you don’t remember your
password, you can enter your email address and select “I forgot my
password”. We can also manually reset your password and/or update
your email address if you need help. NOTE: Volunteers that have not
completed all train-ing, including the newest e-modules, will not
be rolled over into the new program.
What we don’t know: We aren’t sure if the in-structions from the
past will remain the same. We will update those as the new system
is unveiled.
MEMBER DUES
Member enrollment is typically $25 per member but $5 will be
paid through a sponsorship by the Akron Lions Club. The remaining
$20 per member will need paid by the member or through your club.
Be sure to ask your club if they offer assistance with dues if
you’ve been active. This fee covers local and state dues as well as
insurance.
Re-enrollment will open November 1st. We ask all returning
members and leaders to re-enroll as soon as possible. Enrolling in
November will ensure you will be included in our mailing list for
the fall and winter Our re-enrollment deadline is December 31st.
New members should enroll by May 1st.

Fall General & FCS Project Help Now is a great time to begin
thinking about new 4-H projects to explore. Since the fall school
and sports schedules will be extremely light, let’s work on 4-H!
Check out the many projects Colo-rado 4-H has to offer at:
http://co4h.colostate.edu/.
Do you like animals? Check out the Veterinary Science, Horseless
Horse and Cats projects. Or maybe Garden-ing is your thing!
How about learning to build or power things? Look at the
projects in Com-puter Power, Electric, Model Rocket-ry, Robotics
& Engineering, and Small Engines.
Maybe you like outdoor activities like Entomology, Outdoor
Adventures, Shooting Sports, Sportfishing, Wildlife and
Beekeeping.
Do you like to be creative and make things? You might like
Ceramics, Leathercraft, Photography, Filmmak-ing, Scrapbooking,
Woodworking or Visual Arts.
If learning about people interests you, try Global Citizenship
or Leadership projects.
Here are a few more options in the Consumer Science area: Cake
Deco-rating, Clothing Construction, Artistic Clothing, Foods &
Nutrition, Food Preservation, Heritage Arts, and Home Design &
Décor.
Gisele Jefferson would like to help any member or club to find
online resources to teach youth new skills for 4-H projects.
Contact our office for questions about starting one of these
projects.
Holiday Greenery Sales
4-H Clubs can make about 30% on the sales of holiday greenery.
We have worked with the Sherwood Forest Farms compa-ny for many
years, and have many customers around the county who look forward
to buying the fresh greenery each year.
Any 4-H club willing to participate in this fund-raiser project
must contact our office by Septem-ber 30th to get a sales packet
for the club. The 4-H members take orders during the month of
Oc-tober; and then deliver the greenery to custom-ers around
Thanksgiving.
We’ll be working on a COVID plan to reduce and man-age the
in-person contacts.
Project Spotlight: Heritage Arts Did your grandmother crochet or
knit a hat or scarf for you as a kid? Those crocheted and knitted
scarves are real trendy now! Did your great aunt embroi-dered the
pillowcases? Have you looked at the quilt on your mother's bed and
wondered how it was made? The heritage arts project will embrace
how to make these things. Heritage arts are defined as the
practical skills passed down from preceding genera-tions to provide
basic family needs, such as clothing, home furnishings or home
decorations.

Catch-a-Calf Program
Each year, 4-H members from Colorado, Kansas, Nebras-ka and
Wyoming participate in the Catch-a-Calf program at the National
Western Stock Show.
4-H members selected for the program will take part in a catch
it contest during rodeo performances held January 15-17, 2021.
Successful contestants are then awarded a market steer to feed and
care for over the course of the next year. Steers will all come
from one ranch and are awarded in May. Participants care for the
animal and return with it to stock show the next January. They are
judged on showmanship, record books, live placing, and a personal
interview.
Participants must be 4-H members, age 12-18 (as of Dec 31,
2020). To apply for the program, go to
https://nationalwestern.com/catch-a-calf-program/ and com-plete the
online application. There is also a mandatory form that applicants
will need to print off and complete. The application must be
submitted by December 1st.
Washington County currently has two members with Catch-a-Calf
projects for this year, Samantha Collins and Nicholas Hermes. Nic
recently showed his steer at the Colorado State Fair and was
awarded the Champion Catch-a-calf. (Photo Below) Samantha and Nic
received charolais cross steers from Wagonhammer Ranches in Albion,
NE. Samantha is sponsored by Scott Johnson of the Flying Diamond
Ranch. Nicholas is sponsored by Ben Duke of The Denver Ag and
Livestock Club.

Kessinger
with her lamb and Tristin Niccoli with his goat. Both were class
winners in their respective market shows.
The state fair livestock shows were “reimagined” this year due
to COVID restrictions. There were no breeding shows, no
showmanship, and all livestock shows were closed to the public. The
sale was also different
and the number of qualifying animals was reduced.
