4-H’ers involved in the bucket bottle project are invited to attend an informational meeting on Thursday, February 8 in the upstairs of Dallmeyer Hall on the fairgrounds. This department project meeting is open to all members and their families who have questions about how to get started or for those who are ready to learn more in advancing their project. Department superintendents will discuss animal selection, health, records, and fair requirements. Bucket Bottle calf family mentors will be available to connect with and ask questions as well. Junior members (4th-6th grade) plan to attend from 6 pm-7 pm, and intermediate/senior members (7th-12th grade) plan to attend from 7 pm-8 pm. Members earn participation points that will go towards their overall score at the county fair by attending these project meetings.
