(Please note that dates are subject to change, so check often.)
E-Records Due:
The following e-Records are due into the Extension Office before 4:00 p.m. on Monday, September 12, 2022:
Dog Project -- all e-records
Horse Project -- all e-records
Consumer Science/General Projects -- if you received a red ribbon or higher at the Pueblo County Fair, you do not need to turn in your e-record. If you received a white ribbon, participation ribbon, or if you did not exhibit at the Pueblo County Fair, you'll need to turn in your e-record.
Livestock e-records -- Livestock leaders grade e-records and need to send in their scores by September 23, and bring in their nominations for best e-record. So, talk to your livestock leader and ask them when they need your e-record so they can grade it and get us the scores by September 23.
Shooting Sports -- all e-records, even if you exhibited a project board or stand-alone at the Pueblo County Fair. While you might have multiple e-records for your shooting sports exhibits, you will turn in only ONE shooting sports e-record to be graded. If you have more than one shooting sports e-record, combine the information into one shooting sports e-record for all of your disciplines. On the front cover of the shooting sports e-record, you will indicate your primary discipline in the “Unit Number and/or Title” section, but then you will also indicate any other disciplines you participated in during the 4-H year.
While you will need to include information on all of your disciplines, the Shooting Sports council will pay particular attention to the discipline you list on the top left corner under “Unit”. So, for example, a member in shotgun and air rifle who lists "Shotgun" as her unit would include inventory, pictures, logs, stories (and so forth) for both shotgun and air rifle; she would also make sure that the picture section contains at least 4 photos from the Shotgun discipline.
If you have questions about any shooting sports e-records, please speak to the Superintendent for your discipline, or talk to one of your shooting sports leaders.
Completing the e-record is 1/3 of the requirement to complete the project. Members must complete their projects if they wish to take them the following year.
Project Completion Requirements are as follows (Please see the Pueblo County 4-H Policies):
1. Participate in a 4-H related (subject matter or audience) demonstration or other speech-arts presentation.
2. Participate in a 4-H sponsored community service activity
3. Complete a record book for each project the member is enrolled in with a score of 70% or above
Pueblo County 4-H Career Award Applications:
Were you a Junior or Senior in high school last year? Were you involved in your 4-H club and activities at the County level? Possibly even some District, State, and National level events?
If so, YOU should apply for the Pueblo County 4-H Career Award! We give a limited number of these CASH awards to our most active 4-H members each year. The application is pretty quick to fill out – it’s mostly about listing dates and events (there is only one short answer question). You have to be able to earn a minimum of 180 of the 300 points possible on the application to be considered. Take a look at the application to see if you qualify! Click the image to be taken to a pdf copy of the application.
You will need your leader’s signature (handwritten) on this application, so please do not wait until the last minute to fill it out. Applications are due into the office in-person OR via email to Jen by Friday, September 30 at 5:00 PM.
This application is four pages long – be sure to fill out the whole thing, including your point totals! You can fill it out using Excel (this is preferred since it will do the math for you as you add your points for each activity) OR you can fill it out by hand using the pdf version. Both versions are also attached to the email sent on August 12.
Recipients will be awarded at the 2022 Pueblo County 4-H Achievement Night.
Achievement Night Slideshow Submissions:
Do you have pictures from Camps, Conferences, County Fair, Council Meetings, Club Meetings, Contests, Community Service, or any other events or projects from this year? Submit them for inclusion in the Achievement Night "Year In Review" Slideshow! Any photos taken at 4-H events or meetings are appreciated, but group photos are extra great. We hope to see all clubs represented!
The Globetrotters are raising money for their trip in 2023. One of their fundraisers is the Achievement Night Silent Auction!
If you have any items you would like to donate to the Globetrotters, please contact Jen and make arrangements to drop your items off at the CSU Extension Office.
Halloween Carnival and Dance:
Save the date for a ghoulish good time!
The Pueblo Leadership Society will be hosting "Boo Blast!", a Halloween Carnival and Dance on October 29, 2022. There will be games, prizes, music, and more! Keep an eye out for details soon to come.
