August is the month during which you'll need to complete your 4-H records in order to be recognized for your accomplishments during the past year. For county competition, your records must be bound. (Special 4-H record covers are on sale in the Extension Office at a cost of $2.25 each should you wish to purchase one. Otherwise, a discount store binder will work just fine.) Follow the Record Book Guidelines found in your 4-H Family Guide or online at www.extension.uiuc.edu/ogle. Order is important! Books that are severely out of order will be marked down.

We are in the process of creating an Outstanding Recreation Officer Award. The application will be given to leaders and will be added to the website once it is complete.
