All Shooting Sports leaders are invited to attend a meeting on Wednesday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m. in the First National Bank Building, South Hall (side closest to the McKee Building). Please enter through the glass doors.
If you wish to attend but are unable to come in person, please contact Cindy Buckardt at csh@frii.com. We can have a Zoom link available.
The enrollment deadlines are fast approaching. Make sure your family doesn’t miss out.
To show support for all of our 4-H families during this difficult time, the late fee for existing members enrolling after February 1 is being waived this year. All members, new and returning, must enroll by March 15 to be eligible for the county fair.
Market beef project: You must enroll by February 15th and bring your animal to the February 16th weigh day (more details to come) to meet ownership guidelines for the project.
Shooting Sports project: You must enroll before you will be able to attend Shooting Sports practices.
4HOnline has been upgraded to 2.0 for the 2020–2021 year. To get started visit v2.4HOnline.com, not 4HOnline.com.
Please read the entire instruction document before you begin the process. There are two documents: New and Returning Members and 4-H Volunteer Leaders.
This system uses the word Units instead of Clubs. All of our chartered Clubs are available to enroll in.
High Country Handiworkers members, be sure to choose our club. It doesn’t carry over from last year.
If your password does not work follow the directions in the instruction sheet.
Shooting Sports members: If you have your Hunter Safety, you will need to upload your card. The information did NOT carry over from past years.
Please be patient as we move forward with the new system. It is still a work in progress and we are all learning together.
If you have not replied to Pam’s emails with your birthdates, please do so as soon as possible. You will not be able to enroll until that information is input in the system.
Be sure to select Unit and choose the High Country Handiworkers club, as well as your project areas.

Larimer County’s Shooting Sports program needs certified volunteers! This training will be held in Larimer County on March 12–14, 2021. Please consider registering to attend and volunteer in our Shooting Sports program!
The training usually costs $135, and the Larimer County 4-H Foundation will reimburse a portion of that after serving the Shooting Sports program for one year. The last time trainings were held in 2019, we received a donation to cover the cost to all Junior Leaders (14–18-year-olds).
If you are not currently a 4-H leader, call the Extension office now at 970-498-6000 to start the process to be a leader first. Then you can register for the certification training.
Larimer County
When: March 12–14, 2021
Disciplines Offered: Archery, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun
Registration Opens: January 15
Registration Closes: February 26 at 11:59 p.m.

This workshop is offered by Jefferson County on Tuesday January 19 at 6:30 p.m. for mentors/leaders/parents and positive youth development professionals who want to learn about helping kids who suffer from anxiety or have panic attacks. Teaching kids how to handle anxiety and the pressure of competition or just life in general is a huge piece of what we do during contests, fair, and on trips out of the county.
This program will be led by Erin Bennetts, an LCSW RPT/S who has her own practice. She specializes in play therapy, parent coaching, and family therapy. She’ll teach us how to deal with this aspect of positive youth development.
Leadership Development Conference (LDC) will be held VIRTUALLY on February 27 from 10 a.m.–4 pm. Registration is open through February 12 at 11:59 p.m. via 4HOnline.
This event is for 4-H members 14–18 years old. 4-H leaders who would normally act as chaperones are also welcome to attend. Registration is required. This event is FREE this year! The State 4-H Senate and State Shooting Sports Ambassadors have some great virtual workshops lined up.
If you have any questions, please contact Katie Daywalker at daywalka@co.larmer.co.us.
We are excited to share a celebration of 4-H members’ achievements in 2020! Although this past 4-H year has been far from normal, you, the 4-H community have adapted. Leaders found fun and interesting ways to keep members involved. Members embraced the challenges of this year to complete their projects, participate in the county and state fairs, and even some national events. We are so proud of all of you and so grateful for everything you do to make the best better here in Larimer County!
In lieu of our usual special awards, the H awards were created to highlight some of the members and leaders who went above and beyond to overcome the difficulties of the year.
Along with the H Awards for both members and leaders, we are recognizing our contest winners and national qualifiers for this past year, and our 2019 state volunteer award winners who were recently announced.
We will be mailing plaques to the H Award winners and small gifts to those who are receiving special recognition this year. Completion certificates, pins, and ribbons, as well as returned shooting sports targets and scorecards will be mailed to organizational leaders to hand out the next time the club is able to meet in person. If anyone needs these items sooner, please contact our office as soon as possible.
Please enjoy this video of members and their accomplishments in 4-H! A big thank you to the Junior Leader Club for creating the video from pictures you sent in.
A big congratulations to all of our award winners and to all of you who persevered through this challenging year! Cheers to embarking on a new 4-H year together!
