Mark your calendars for January 15-17, 2010, for the 2010 State 4-H Leaders’ Conference in Buffalo.  This conference is a great opportunity for leaders around the state to gather to share ideas and develop skills through hands-on workshops and meetings.   The Northeast Area has been hard at work planning the conference which features the theme “Leaders Building Gold Medal Programs” and will be headquartered at the Buffalo Middle School. 

State Leaders Conference will help give participants tools to take back to their counties and build gold medal programs that have a positive impact on youth and build life skills for youth and leaders.  The weekend will include a local scavenger hunt, round table discussions, workshops, keynote speakers,   networking, and an awards banquet.  Be on the lookout in the next few months for more information including workshop proposal forms and registration.  Come join other leaders for this great learning opportunity!  You don’t want to miss this event.

Service Project Ideas

This is the time of year when things are slowing down a little bit, which is a good time to think about service projects.  There are a lot of different ideas out there.  Here are a few; Jackson Hole Regional Horse Rescue (located in Thayne), Star Valley Therapeutic Activities and Riding, Animal Human Association, Project Linus, Search and Rescue, Hero Back Packs, Food Banks,  etc.  If your club wants more information or need some help with ideas please call either Extension Office.

Animal Eligibility for State Fair

For animals to be eligible to show at State Fair, they must be shown at County Fair and deemed worthy to go to State by the 4-H and/or FFA staff.
