In recognition of the increased challenges associated with completing verification and lease forms during this social distancing period, UConn 4-H has revised the guidelines for the 2020 4-H Fair Season.
Dairy, Beef and Horse Deadline for submission is now May 15 (grace period with late fee till May 30)
All other Animals – deadline June 15 (grace period with late fee till June 30)
*4-H members will be eligible for ESE 4-H Dog, Sheep and Goats provided their animals are verified by June 30th.
In lieu of a wet signature on a verification form a 4-H leader can send an email to the county office confirming the project verification.
In lieu of wet signature on the lease form, the owners of project animals to be leased must agree to lease terms with the 4-H member (and parent/guardian), and a copy of the lease terms, including animal information must be sent to the county office to go on file.
All parent and Youth signatures MUST appear on the 2020 verification forms and lease (if applicable).
Scanned forms, photos of forms and hard copy forms will be accepted for 2020.
Please contact your county 4-H office directly with any questions regarding these updates.
