County Record Book Judging
Record books are due to the County Office on September 14, 2009.
In 2008, County 4-H Council changed the program year from July 1 - June 30 to September 1 – August 31.
4-H teaches many valuable life skills and record keeping is very important for your future career and to be able to see your 4-H growth over the years. By participating in the County Record Book Judging you will receive a pin for your hat, comments on your record keeping abilities and you may also be able to apply for State 4-H Record Book Judging. Keeping a good record book now can have a lot of benefits to you later. San Mateo County offers numerous scholarship opportunities and you need your record book to apply for advanced stars.
The application and leader evaluation are available at http://cesanmateo.ucdavis.edu/4%2DH%5FProgram/4-H_Forms.htm and the record books are available on the State 4-H website: http://www.ca4h.org/4hresource/forms/index.asp
Record Book Training is offered by Record Book Key Resource Leader, Valerie Pimentel. Please email or call Valerie at [email protected], 650-726-5853, or Mary at [email protected], 650-726-9059 x 106, if your club would like to hold a training or to answer any questions.
On June 27th, the Junior Fair Board hosted a “Find A Buyer” clinic for livestock exhibitors. Anna and Katrina shared buyer letters they have used successfully and participants used a letter template to practice writ-ing to buyers. We also developed a presentation to use at service clubs (Rotary, Lions, Elks) so that livestock exhibitors can visit these clubs and share information about the auction and their projects. If anyone is interested in a copy of the presentation, please send me an email and I will send it to you. Sue Garcia, [email protected].
hard last weekend decorating a float for the Redwood City 4th of July Parade. To reflect the 75th anniversary of the fair, the centerpiece of the float is a multi-level birthday cake. The float decorations this year are made out recycled materials – plastic bottles were refashioned into flow-ers and spray painted. Members of Junior Fair Board will be riding on the float and we hope you will cheer them along.

Take Flight for Kids at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport Saturday August 8, 2009.
Take Flight is a huge flying festival at Northern California airports. We recruit about 75 volunteer pilots of small airplanes and helicopters, then provide free flights for about 750 young people with disabilities, at risk youth, homeless kids, foster kids, you name it. We take the young people flying for 20 minute flights, in this case over Sili-con Valley. Most of the kids get to fly the plane to experience the empowerment of being in absolute control of complex aircraft. About 200 nonprofit agencies are expected to join us and network with the crowds. We expect up to 4000 people to join us at Reid Hillview Airport on August 8th, making this the biggest aviation-based STEM science/technology/engineering/math festival in Silicon Valley.
Everything is FREE to all attendees, all volunteers, all booth hosts! Free admission, free parking, free BBQ at noon, free airplane rides to kids 8-17 years old (must be pre-registered online), free live entertainment, petting zoos, hot air balloon rides, helicopters, radio controlled aircraft, model rockets, science experiments, games, rides, fun, fun, FUN!

Enter the Funky Nests Challenge! You find them in hanging flower baskets…an old boot…a garage shelf…or under a
bridge…birds build nests in the strangest places! That’s the theme for the newest environ-
mental challenge from our Celebrate Urban Birds project: Funky Nests in Funky Places! As
you may know, Celebrate Urban Birds is a free, year-round citizen-science project from the
Cornell Lab of Ornithology, focused on birds in neighborhood settings.
For the Funky Nests in Funky Places challenge, we want you to take photos, do a painting, write a story, or shoot a
video showing a bird’s nest built in some out-of-the-way or out-of-this-world place.When observing nests please be
sure to avoid touching them or disturbing the birds.
This one’s going to be fun, I think. We usually receive hundreds of entries for each of our challenges, and I can’t wait
to see what your sent us this time and where birds have chosen to build their funky nests! I'm also attaching a PDF flier
about the challenge you can print for yourself or pass along to others who might want to participate.
We have some great prizes, includig a Leica C-LUX 3 compact camera, bird feeders, shrubs for planting, and more.
The first 50 entrants will receive a copy of the "Doves and Pigeons" poster by Julie Zickefoose and we'll post selected
images and videos on the Celebrate Urban Birds website.
Here's how to enter: 1. Email your entry to [email protected]. Links are acceptable for videos.
2. Write “Funky Nests” in the subject line. 3. Include your name and mailing address. 4. Explain why you submitted your entry--what's the story behind it?
5. One entry per person, please.
Deadline for entries is July 31, 2009. Visit the Celebrate Urban Birds website for more information and to read the
terms of agreement regarding all entries. Thanks for taking the challenge!

Small 4-H projects are welcome to accompany you (robots, rabbits, arts/crafts, service dogs, etc.) to give the public a "feel" for what types of projects are available.

YOUTH LIVESTOCK & SMALL ANIMAL DEPARTMENT
THE SAN MATEO FAIR IS PERMANENTLY MOVING TO JUNE IN 2010!
JUNE 12-20, 2010
Dear Livestock Exhibitor, Now that Fair dates are no longer tied to the San Mateo County
Fair horseracing meet, Fair Management and the Board of
Directors have met and the Board authorized moving Fair dates
to June in 2010.
We believe that by moving the Fair dates earlier in the summer it
will allow us to expand our partnerships with San Mateo County
schools and businesses that are otherwise unavailable late in the
summer.
Many Fairs in the industry are currently discussing date moves.
We have also faced challenges in obtaining some vendors during
the Fair due to overlaps with other Fairs. Moving the Fair to
June opens many opportunities as we look forward to celebrating
our county’s excellence for many years to come.
We realize that moving dates significantly impacts our Exhibitors
and when they must purchase animals. So we wanted you to have
this information first!
This schedule provides key dates in 2010. If you have any
questions, please contact our staff at 650-574-3247.
We look forward to celebrating 75 years of the San Mateo County
Fair this year, and many more to come. Department Code: YL Entry Fees: Large Animals $7.00 per animal Small Animals $4.00 per animal Bedding Fees: Cattle $100.00 per animal Hogs, Sheep & Goats $30.00 per animal Turkeys & Chickens $10.00 per pen Rabbits $5.00 per pen
