| RECORD BOOKS/E-RECORDS: 4-H Record Books are also called e-Records. Each project has its own record book that members are required to complete each year. Record books have a few times to be checked on progress throughout the year: 1. June- your 4-H leader will be sure your books are started and up to date. 2. Prior to showing at the Boulder County Fair, your record books will be checked by your superintendent to be sure they are up to date and complete as can be in order to participate and show at the fair. 3. Dogs will use the Dog Record Book. Final Dog record books are due to be received at the extension office by the last Thursday in September. (please note: your 4-H Leader may need an earlier deadline for review and signatures.) |
