Welcome to the Bent County 4-H Program!
We’re excited that you’ve decided to join 4-H and Make the Best Better!

Participate in at least half of your club meetings. You will not be allowed to show at the fair if you do not meet this requirement. Club attendance records will be submitted to the Extension Office to verify participation.
All members must meet 4-H enrollment and Fair Entry deadlines as set out in the 4-H Newsletter.
Complete and exhibit a project with a completed record book. We prefer the exhibit to be at the county fair, but if this not possible, make arrangements in advance with the Extension Agent to show your finished project at another event/time.
Show others how to do something you have learned in your project. This is called a demonstration.
Do a community service project. Most clubs do a community service activity together.
Work in the concession stand as scheduled during the Bent County Fair. This is the only fundraiser for the county 4- H program, and helps pay for activities open to all members.
Participate in one county, district or state activity as designated in the 4-H newsletter.
