4-H Membership Cards<\/b><\/h3>\n

Each 4-H member and 4-H Volunteer will receive a 4-H Membership Card.\u00a0 These will be mailed to your home in mid July. The Membership Cards are your passes to get into the Northern Maine Agricultural Fair. Each member\u2019s card will also allow the accompaniment of <\/span>one<\/b> parent for free. This is the policy at the Northern Maine Fair.\u00a0 All members wishing to use their 4-H card to enter the Northern Maine Agricultural Fair are encouraged to enter through the livestock gate on State Street. You may be redirected if you attempt to enter through another entrance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

4-H Exhibit Hall<\/b><\/h3>\n

4-H Exhibits entered at the Exhibit Hall should reflect <\/span>on-going <\/span><\/i>work done by the member in their project area during the current 4-H year. 4-H Exhibit cards<\/a> must accompany each project and Cloverbuds have their own Exhibit Card<\/a>. Both sets of cards are available at any of the Aroostook County Extension offices.\u00a0 We can also mail some cards to your home, please contact Emily Dow at 532-6548 or <\/span>emily.dow@maine.edu<\/span><\/a> if you needs cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although project records are not required at fairs, they are strongly encouraged. They help to give the judges a clearer understanding of the project and your work and will also earn each member $1 for every exhibit that includes an on-going or <\/span>completed project record<\/span><\/a>. 4-H members from any county in Maine may enter exhibits but should check with the UMaine Extension Aroostook County for rules that may differ from those in their county.<\/span><\/p>\n

Current 4-H enrollment is not necessary for participation. Program materials and instruction are FREE. The goal of 4-H Fridays on the Farm is to expose teens ages 12-18 to Maine agriculture and create workforce development skills through a variety of different hands-on, farm visits throughout the state. Teens may join for one session or all four to experience what different farms across the state have to offer. Each session will include an opportunity for teens to take a tour of operations, gain hands-on experience, and consider their role in the Maine Food System. 4-H Fridays on the Farm is the first educational offering in a series developed by the Maine 4-H Agricultural Leadership Team. For more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    National Trip Interviews, 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    In the past, we would have held interviews for National Trips in the early spring. At the time, we had youth that had been chosen but had not been able to participate yet due to the pandemic. It was decided that it was not in our best interest to add more numbers to those delegations given we still did not know the status of the pandemic and where all was headed. So, therefore we did not hold any National trip interviews in 2021. We will resume in 2022. If you have questions, please email Heidi Palmer at heidi.thuotte@maine.edu.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) 2021<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    CWF 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic.\u00a0 Maine 4-H was committed to sending the 2020 delegation in July of 2021.\u00a0 As we moved forward with the pandemic still around us, last winter the decision was made by National 4-H to hold CWF 2021 virtually.\u00a0\u00a0 Taking into consideration many different factors, we have decided not to participate in the CWF Conference virtually this year.\u00a0 We will however be encouraging that the same delegation to be ready for July 2022.\u00a0 All youth must still be between the ages of 14 to 18 and be an enrolled member in 2022.\u00a0 We realize that, unfortunately, some youth will have aged out, etc.\u00a0 This is very unfortunate but hopefully, those youth will come back when adult life gets underway for them and perhaps chaperone with us. Monies that were sent in for the trips have been left on file and we will be reaching out to those individuals regarding that. If you have questions, please email Heidi Palmer at heidi.thuotte@maine.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Exciting news! National Congress 2021 will be happening in person in November 2021! As with other trips, Maine 4-H already has a delegation picked from previous National Interviews. We will be reaching out to that group of youth to see where they are at. These youth will need to still be age 14-18 and still enrolled in 4-H. If you have questions, please email Heidi Palmer at heidi.thuotte@maine.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
