Cloverbuds July Meeting
Our Cloverbuds tried their hand at Leathercraft. These will be their projects to enter in the county fair.
County Fair
Fair Project Labels
Since we are using the Fair Entry software system for projects this year, a pink card will be attached to each project when it is checked in on August 3.
However, we recommend labeling your project with your name and the project just in case the card gets separated while at the Fair.
Budweiser Events Center Implements Clear Bag Policy
The Budweiser Events Center at The Ranch has implemented a clear bag policy. This is the venue for the PRCA Rodeo during the Larimer County Fair.

- Logos may only be on one (1) side of the bag.
- Bags are not to have any buckles, straps, or hardware concealing any part of the bag.
- Bags that close via a zipper or snap are permitted.

Livestock Record Book Judging Opportunity
On behalf of the Larimer County 4-H Foundation, we are offering an opportunity to have Livestock Record Books evaluated by a group of livestock leaders. As in the past, the books will be scored and awards will be given. In this unique time, the Foundation felt it was important to continue with the submission of Livestock Record Books. This is an opportunity for all livestock species (Cat, Dog, Alpaca/Llama, Rabbit, Horse, Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Swine, and Beef). THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. If record books are submitted the Foundation will contact your club leaders to let them know that a book has been submitted.
Due to concerns of COVID, the books should be dropped off at one of four business locations around the county. The drop-off bins are in place now and record books can be dropped off anytime between now and September 23. The bins are clearly marked “Livestock Record Books.”

No Livestock Record Book Judging for 2020
Livestock and animal record books will NOT be collected this year. This decision was made due to the limits on face-to-face contact and our extension office not being staffed in-person.
Congrats to all who completed their record books and worked so hard! We’re sorry we are not able to judge them this year.
