I want to take a moment and say thank you to all for your patience with my crazy schedule and such over the past few months. Sometimes, I don’t know if I am coming or going. It seems like I get caught up at one job and then get behind in the other and then

vice versa. Then with my travel schedule added into that and the state horse contest prep, it has taken a lot of time. So, I really do appreciate your patience and support through this. So, the big things coming up are all the camps and clinics and shows. You can find more information inside the newsletter. I have sat and pondered over the past couple months on plans and such for how we can build our program back up. We have a great program and you all are great. I would just like to add to it. How do we get more leaders and ones with a variety of different projects? Then, how do we get more members? I feel the leaders we have are taxed already for the most part and feel we need more of them before we can get the youth in those project areas. I am looking for any thoughts and maybe people to help go out and reach the new or next generation. Thoughts from you are appreciated. I hope you all enjoyed this past spring. Have a wonderful June.

June 2018 Tanana District 4-H News

If you haven’t completed your enrollment online yet, you need to get it done right away. If not and something happens to you, you are not covered by insurance or liability insurance. You also should not be doing any fundraising using the 4-H name or logo. If you have questions, call the office at 474-1530 or stop in for help at 1000 University Ave., Room 109. And remember, DO NOT start a new record if you are RE-enrolling; simply sign in to your existing record and update your information from there. After completing the enrollment online, your next and final step is to pay the dues (except for leaders). Thank you!

Camp Dates Set Summer is here and we want everyone to be aware of our camp dates for this year so you can get them in your calendars.

It will be “Full STEAM Ahead.” There are some great educational classes picked out and I can’t wait! Cloverbud Day Camp is not far behind on July 16-18. We haven’t started planning this one yet, but we soon will. I know it will be a fun and exciting camp as it always is. So, if you have youth who want to attend one of these camps, watch the upcoming newsletters as things start to unfold.

All lot champions receive a $10 fair premium. Fashion Revue and My Favorite Outfit — Sunday, Aug. 5, at 12:30 p.m. — The Big Top Tent. Here are two chances to model your outfits. Fashion Revue is for those enrolled in a sewing project who have made a garment. My Favorite Outfit is for any 4-H member who has a favorite outfit they would like to model (can be self made, store bought, made by someone else, etc.). Performing Arts and Presentations — Sunday, Aug. 5, starting right after the Fashion Revue — The Big Top Tent. This contest is for anyone who would like to do a public presentation, demonstration or performance (singing, dancing, poetry recital, playing an instrument, etc.) This can be an individual or team presentation or performance. Home Garden Tour — Tuesday, July 31, starting at 4 p.m. This is where the judge comes to your garden, which can be a flower or vegetable garden. You will be notified when the judge will be at your garden. Sewing Challenge — Tuesday, July 31, at noon — University Park Building, Room 154. Think you can sew? Come show a judge! Depending on age and level in a sewing project, contestants will do identification of machine and hand tools, and demonstrate techniques and skills by completing a selected project. Be sure to ask your leader for the Sewing Challenge guidelines. For more information on any of the contests, contact Patsy Perkins at [email protected] or 712-4544 days or 479-4529 evenings.

2018 MARKET LIVESTOCK UPDATEGuidelines according to the state veterinarian, Dr. Robert Gerlach

IMPORTANT TO NOTE!For each vaccine listed, be sure to note whether it is SUGGESTED or REQUIRED for your animal. If the vaccine is required, proof that it was administered must be submitted on entry day. Proof consists of the following: l Name of vaccine l Expiration date: Vaccine shall not be expired when administered. l Manufacturer l Date vaccine administered l Lot number l Who administered vaccine

Vaccinations — Suggested or Required? Things the veterinarian will look for on delivery day:

warts, enlarged external lymph nodes (especially on sheep and goats), infectious or conta-gious diseases (including external para-

sites), clinical signs of dermatitis (ringworm) and evidence of castration, when applicable.

You should have the animal in the best physical shape prior to going to the fair. This

includes providing good nutrition, vaccinations and parasite control. These precautions will en-

able the animal to have a strong immune system and avoid getting ill when they are exposed to the

other animals and the stress of being away from home and at the fair.

Important Dates to Remember!Aug. 2: Delivery of animals to fair. Small animals, 2-8 p.m., and large animals, 4-8 p.m. Remember, there will be a vet check before animals can be brought into the barns.Aug. 3: Mandatory barn meeting, 11 a.m.Aug. 3: Official fair weigh-in, noon-2 p.m.Aug. 10: Mandatory barn meeting, 11 a.m.Aug. 12: Animal pickup day and barn cleanup, 7 a.m.Aug. 26: Small animals delivered to buyer unless other arrangements with buyer are made.Sept. 10: Record books turned in to 4-H leader/FFA advi-sor in order to be eligible for a market project next year.
