4-H'ers to enter the Achievement Awards for both Junior and Senior Divisions. You will still need to keep accurate records in order to enter.

Low Participation

Jefferson County 4-H Program reserves the right to cancel any competition that does not have adequate participation. In this case the 4-H'er may be asked to participate in Regional or State Competition.

Levels

We will still have three levels: Junior, Senior I, and Senior II.
