Online 4-H Project Work Gallery
It’s time to show off your 4-H project work! The 2020 Dane County 4-H Online Project Work Gallery submission portal is open! Dane County 4-H members can share a picture of their project work and a description to be shared on the Dane County 4-H website. This is a way for our youth to share their accomplishments and reflect on what they have learned this year in 4-H. Youth can upload pictures through August.

Zoom Rooms
Sign up today! We can’t get together to see each other’s projects this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t show each other what we accomplished! In this Zoom Room event, youth will have a chance to talk in small groups about their projects with other youth in Dane County 4-H. It is meant to be an informal opportunity for youth to learn from one another! Meet for 30-45 minutes on Zoom – any 4-H projects welcome and you can still show it at next year’s fair.

• Register to attend on a Zoom Room on August 6, 2020

4-H Cookbook
Send in your favorite recipe by July 31! We are making an online cookbook and hope you’ll participate. Share a delicious recipe, a picture of the finished product (optional) and a few words about why you like the recipe, just like you would at the fair.
