RECORD BOOKS: One of the basic requirements of 4-H is to complete a record book for each
project. Whether your project is sportfishing or market swine, we hope you will learn the importance
of keeping accurate records. For some projects, you may be keeping a record of the activities and
practice sessions you’ve had while completing the project. You may also be asked to track all income
and expenses. For livestock projects, you will be asked to record all health treatments for your
animals. Remember different counties require different books and all counties have different
deadlines. So check with your local Extension Office to make sure that you are meeting the
requirements.
INTERVIEW JUDGING: For all your general or family/consumer science projects (check with your
local Extension Office for official guidelines), you will be required to participate in Interview Judging
prior to or during your county fair. You will be notified by your local Extension
Office of the time and date you will need to interview. On that date, you will
bring your completed project and/or project display board along with your record
book to be judged. A project judge will sit with you and ask a few questions
about your project while they judge your work.

leadership skills and become the best person they
can be through 4-H. She is very excited to meet new
people across the state and looks forward to planning

Congratulations Brooke!
Cow Patty Bingo Fundraiser
The Phillips County 4-H Council will once again be
doing Cow Patty Bingo for a fundraiser. Please see
your club leader if you haven’t received your tickets
to sell yet. Tickets are $5 for one or $20 for five.
Money and ticket stubs are due to the Extension
Office by July 1. Your leader will probably have
an earlier club deadline. All tickets you receive
must be sold. If you are having trouble selling your
tickets, talk to your club leader soon – don’t wait!
Your club leader may know of another club member
who may be able to help you sell some tickets.
Clubs will receive $.50 per ticket turned in by July
1. If the tickets and money are not received by July
1, the club will forfeit the $.50 incentive. The bingo
contest will occur Saturday after the parade at the
fairgrounds. The winner will receive $500, with
$150 in consolation money. Remember, this is the
only fundraiser the Council does each year. The
money raised is helping to assist you as a 4-H
member with different 4-H activities. If you have
any questions, please contact Jessie at the Extension
Office. Happy selling! ☺

Cloverbud Camps
Calling all Cloverbuds! You are invited to join us for
a cloverbud camp taking place in June! This year
they will be held at the Paoli Event Hall. The kids
will be making a steppingstone that will be exhibited
at fair. These can last for years and are also a great
addition to any garden or flowerbed. There also will
be snacks and games as well! We hope to see you all
there!
Record Book and Project Requirements
It’s not too early to start thinking about your
project’s requirements and record books! Electronic
record books for all projects are available online.
Go to: http://co4h.colostate.edu/program-areas/ for
your livestock and general project record books. If
you are enrolled in a general project, it is a very
good idea to read through the State Fair Exhibit
Requirements for your project; these are the
requirements you will be judged on in Phillips
County. To find your project requirements, go to:
http://co4h.colostate.edu/statefair/StateFairExhibitRe
q.pdf.
Display Boards and Record Book Covers
The Extension Office has display boards (show
boards) and green record book covers available for

Livestock Nutrition Clinics
Mark your calendars for the first and second
Mondays and Wednesdays of May! Colby Hales, a
graduate student at UW and an ag teacher in
Pinedale, Wyoming will be presenting on Livestock
Nutrition. The first week will cover monogastric
nutrition so it will be very pertinent to swine
exhibitors. There will be a beginner’s session held
on Monday, May 4 and a more advanced session on
Wednesday, May 6. The following week will cover
ruminant nutrition so exhibitors with sheep, goats
and cattle will want to tune in. The format will be
the same as the week before with a beginner’s
session on Monday, May 11 and a more advanced
session on Wednesday, May 13. This is a great
opportunity for youth and parents to learn more
about livestock nutrition. The registration link for
the Zoom sessions will be on the Facebook Page.
Also watch your emails for information from Jessie.
Horse Practices
Watch your email inboxes and mail boxes for
information about when the classroom sessions and ride
nights start for horse practice. They will be starting
soon!
Colorado 4-H Foundation Raffle
Once again, the Colorado 4-H Foundation will raffle
off a 2020 Ford XLT F-150 super crew pickup, in
addition to other cash prizes. The tickets are one
ticket for $5 or five tickets for $20. Remember,
40% of the ticket sales in Phillips County will
come back to the Phillips County 4-H Council, or
to your club if your club chooses to sell tickets. If
you or your club is interested in selling tickets, or
would like to purchase tickets, please contact the
Extension Office.

Cloverbud Members
A cloverbud refers to our youngest 4-H members who are
ages 5-7. Cloverbuds do not enroll in a project; instead, they
focus on learning more about 4-H. Cloverbud members
complete a cloverbud record book. If they choose, they can
participate in our interview judging prior to fair. At that time,
they will turn in their record book and present a “judge” with a
poster they’ve made to be displayed during fair.
We encourage cloverbud members to participate in club
meetings and seek out activities that are age appropriate. We
typically offer a handful of activities over the summer, so stay
tuned for more information.
Council Update The county council met Monday, April 20 at 7:00 p.m. in a
virtual meeting. A carnival and raffle report was given. The
carnival has been cancelled for now. We will look at fall
options but it may not be rescheduled until next spring. The
raffle has been postponed and the new date for the drawing in
July 31, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
Tate Schrock, Maranda Mason, Jared Mason, and Montana
Mason reported on a recent District 1 virtual meeting. The
district held officer elections.
Jamie updated everyone regarding continuing COVID
restrictions. She reported that state conference and CWF have
been cancelled for this year.
The talent show was discussed and will be tentatively
planned for July 21. If restrictions continue with face to face
programming, the council will look at virtual options for the
event.
The project add/drop date was discussed. Typically that
deadline is May 1st. Everyone in attendance felt the deadline
should be pushed back this year due to continued restrictions on
club and project meetings. The deadline has been moved to
June 1st.
The next council meeting will be held June 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Election of officers will take place in June.
Raffle Update Our annual raffle was officially postponed until Friday,
July 31st at 6:00 p.m. Please feel free to mail in any sold
tickets/money to our office at 181 Birch Ave, Akron CO
80720. If you have unsold tickets, we will need to update the
date and time of the drawing. The office will be sending out
labels that you can use to cover that information on your
tickets. It is our hope that you can continue to sell your tickets
into the summer months.
General and FCS Projects
As you have time between school work and chores, please
keep working on your 4-H projects and records. If you have
questions or need help, please contact your leader or the
Extension office. Call or email or message us with your
questions. We are working with the fair board to plan for the
fair. We are expecting to have 4-H members eager to bring
their completed projects for judging and public display at the
fair!! Make some decisions this month about what you can get
done; and let your club leader know if you need to make any
Add/Drop changes in your projects!!

General & Home Ec Achievement Award
Last year Yuma County was privileged to have an
anonymous donor provide $200 cash award to Logan
Klein and Maddie Lapp. The award is based on
outstanding achievement related not only to their projects,
but to their 4-H involvement as a whole. The General and
Home Economics Achievement award will be given again
this year and is determined by what is recorded in your
record books. Be sure to keep good records so you are
eligible for this award! Keep track of all the activities you
do, committees you serve on, the help you give another
member or sibling with a 4-H activity, community service,
etc. Look for more tips on filling out your record book in
the Fair Newsletter issue.
Congratulations to:
Washington Focus Delegate, Shyanne Conde. She was
selected to represent Yuma County at the 2020 Citizenship
Washington Focus in June.
Horse Ride Nights
Beginning in June, Horse Ride Nights will be held at the
home of Ray Hendrix and Ryan Noble. Ray Hendrix’s
Friday night ride will be on May 29 and begin with a
potluck BBQ. Please bring your horse and a side dish.
Ryan Noble’s rides will begin in June so be looking for
more information on that.
Accidental Insurance Sponsors
Wray State Bank is again sponsoring accidental
insurance for all members and leaders of Yuma County.
It would be great if you would drop them a note of
thanks for their continued support of Yuma County 4-H.
They would really appreciate hearing from you, or if you
are in the bank tell them thanks!
