Are you a member of the Broome County 4-H Livestock Market program or are you interested in getting involved? We will all be joining in the NYS 4-H Livestock Summit to kick-off the year in the project and then come together locally at the conclusion to share what we learned and apply it to our projects!
This event will consist of 6 virtual speaker sessions all based on livestock topics. A follow up session will be held after each speaker session the following Friday at 6:30pm where participants can engage in a fun recap of that week's topic!
This event is open to all New York State 4-H members between the ages of 8-18.
Each session will have a giveaway and all participants in attendance will be automatically entered into it for the chance to win a prize from one of our awesome sponsors!
***Broome County 4-H will cover the cost of enrolled members and take care of the registration process.*** Cost of participation is $10 which will give youth access to all of the speaker and follow-up sessions. After the last speaker session date (January 12th), all prizes and participation goodies will be mailed out!
