It’s cold and snowy OUTSIDE, but we’re warm and ready for some fun INSIDE at the 4-H Carnival! Join us between 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Carnival booths, live auctions, bake sale, craft/vendor fair, carnival food, and door prizes!
We’re one week away from the 60th Annual 4-H Carnival!
In addition to the carnival, there will be a vendor/craft show with over 40 booths, and live auctions at 12:00 and 2:00 where we’re featuring over 50 items at each auction: a 40″ flat-screen television, a handmade lariat-rope coffee table commemorating the 60th anniversary, lots of themed baskets, and so much more.
Door prizes will be awarded throughout the day. And to satisfy your sweet tooth, there’s a bake sale of homemade goodies.
Livestock Field Day will be on Saturday, February 23. This is the best opportunity for Livestock members to complete their MQA training.

Carnival tickets were distributed to members at the January meeting. If you weren’t able to attend, catch up with Cindy and get yours. Each member is required to sell at least 25 tickets. If you want to sell more, you’re welcome to do that. The 4-H member who sells the most tickets in Larimer County this year will receive a $100 reward!
