Massachusetts 4-H Upcoming Events

Animal Verification Forms Now is the time to print off your Animal Verification Forms to plan for the upcoming show season. Lease Forms are also due at the same time. Animal Verification Forms are to be completed for all livestock, dogs, and horses that you plan to show at a 4-H fair, dog academies, and/or Big E 4-H Shows. Note: Lambs and kids born after June 1st are still eligible to show based on your fair’s requirements, but you will still need to file a Verification Form on them once they are born. Verification Forms are due to your county/regional 4-H office by the following dates: • New Date: May 1st – Horse (only if planning to show at the Sept. New England 4-H Horse Show at the Big E) • May 1st – Dairy Cattle, Beef Cattle, and Working Steers • June 1st – Goat, Sheep, Llama, Alpaca and Swine, Dog Check the News Blast, the website section for the corresponded species or your local Educator for more information.

Two sessions: The am session is geared for those wanting to lead activities back in their club, fair or library. The afternoon is for our 4-H'ers to learn about flight, build a glider, conduct a test flight and learn about rockets.
