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.
