4-H District Club Day - March 24, 2025

4-H District Club Day is an event which gives participants an opportunity to tell others about their 4-H projects and demonstrate their talents and abilities. Presentations such as talks, demonstrations, speeches, skits, music and dance are judged and awarded ribbons.

If you are new to our 4-H Clubs, please reach out so we can help you! Youth can enter all sorts of exhibits from Demonstrations, Project Talks, Dance Numbers, Vocal, Instrument, Reading, etc. The possibilities are endless. All supporting documents to help you get ready can be found on the Communication Project Page or our GPD Club Days Page.

Even though this event is come-and-go style, we kindly ask you to pre-register so we can plan out judges for the evening.
