We are in need of youth from the 4-H dog project to be involved in the 4-H dog project showcase that would happen at the 4-H Building. This is a great opportunity to help promote the Minnesota 4-H Dog Project and we need lots of help to make this a success! A “tentative” schedule for the day includes:
