Important message about record books...
Here is information you need quoted straight from your fair book:
All 4-H members must turn in a completed e-record and score a minimum of 50% of the total points possible on their e-record book by the published deadline in order to complete the project. Any 4-H’er not in compliance of these rules will not be allowed to compete at the Douglas County Fair. Therefore, they are not a member in good standing in that particular project and cannot participate in the 4-H classes for that project at State Fair.

New 4-H page on Facebook
Announcement straight from the CSU newsletter:
"On March 31, with a goal to create a more prominent presence on Facebook, National 4-H Council created a 4-H page on Facebook. In four days, the 4-H page fan base increased to more than 5,500 fans. Within a couple of weeks, the membership grew to more than 30,000 4-H fans! With significantly more fans than Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, BGCA, and FFA combined; 4-H is one of the top 130 non-profits on Facebook, based on fan size.
Jess Falkenthal, Educational Technology Specialist at National 4-H Council, was able to secure a meeting with Andrew Bosworth, a Software Design Engineer at Facebook, who just happened to be a California 4-H alumni. He was also invented the News Feed feature in 2006. Through this partnership, the page was able to get a vanity URL, facebook.com/4-h, making it even easier for fans to get to the page.
Through creating discussions, idea and advice sharing, participating in contests and of course posting 4-H memories in photos or videos, 4-H fans will be able to connect with other 4-H fans. In the coming months, National 4-H Council will continue to work with Andrew and Facebook finding better ways to market 4-H on Facebook and making more features available for 4-H fans.

Time to enroll in the Cloverbud Mad Scientist Camp!
Eureka! All kids ages 5-7 in Douglas County are invited to the 4-H Cloverbud “Mad Scientist” Camp on June 10 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock.
We’re cooking up fun in the 4-H Science Laboratory this summer. Youngsters will mix up fizzy concoctions, be science detectives, and take trips through the Fun Dome where anything could happen. All our little Mad Scientists will play science games, make crafts to take home, and keep their energy up with snacks and drinks they make themselves.
“I went to the last two camps and they were both fun. I really liked making crafts, and being able to make my own snacks”, said Jenna age 8. “It was all really fun!”
This annual event is open to children ages 5-7. They do not need to be enrolled in the 4-H Cloverbud Program to participate. Cost is for materials and snacks only: Cloverbuds are $10 and non-Cloverbuds are $15.
The 4-H Cloverbud program is designed to build self-esteem through successful learning experiences. Each lesson addresses one or more youth development concepts: self protection, global awareness, youth connectedness, and career development.
If you are interested in enrolling your child in the 4-H Cloverbud “Mad Scientist” Camp, you can find more information on the registration form at the 4-H website at www.douglascountyextension.org. Click the 4-H/Youth link and then Coming Events at the top of the main 4-H page.
If you are interested in the Cloverbud program, school enrichment programs for elementary kids, or the regular 4-H program, log on to the website listed above for more information or call 720-733-6940.
