The purpose of these competitions is to:

• Provide youth from across the Wasatch Front the opportunity to showcase knowledge and skills and represent their counties and cities.
• Help Wasatch Front youth prepare as early as third grade age to compete confidently for the 4-H State Contests at Utah State University in Logan starting in the 9th through 12th grade ages (http://utah4h.org/events/statecontests/ ).

 

Previous 4-H membership is not required.   The fee is $25 for non 4-H youth because they will be required to register for 4-H.  The $10 covers their 4-H membership for one year.  Registration is through the online 4-H registration system which requires them to go through the process of registering for 4-H, then once processed, they register for the contests in the same system.

 

Friends, family, and the public will be invited to watch the contests in action and to attend our nutrition and health fair happening at the same time. There will be workshops and booths and an awards celebration at the end.
