District Events
All Frontier Extension District and 4-H face-to-face events are canceled between March 15 and May 16.
County 4-H Council Meetings
While we are all at home for an unseen amount of time, let's have some fun creating videos and taking pictures of what we are doing within our project areas! Submit a video or picture of what you are doing with your 4-H projects while you are at home. Once we receive your videos and/or pictures, we will post them on our social media accounts so we can help spread the word of your amazing creativity, what you are learning and how your projects are progressing!
If submitting a photo, please give a brief description of what is being done in the picture. If submitting a video, be sure to give a narrative of what you are doing!
For each of your submissions, your name will be entered into a drawing for a special prize related to one of your project areas. You can submit as many times as you want (different events, please), but the contest will be closing once our offices are back open.
Please send all videos and pictures to Janae at jmcnally@ksu.edu.
Citizenship Opportunity
Rock Creek of Ottawa (formerly ORV) is asking for your help by making face masks for the residents. They are made of scrap pieces of material and can be made at home! The 4-H member will need to provide all the materials. A pattern for each of the different masks needed (male and female, not children’s) can be found at the link below. The material should be pre-washed before the masks are made. It is very important to follow the directions! They have to be careful about what they provide for the residents, but this pattern meets their criteria.
Contact Michelle at 785-242-5399 to let her know of your interest in helping and direct all questions to her, as well.

4-H Citizenship Washington Focus (CWF) is a week-long summer program in Washington, DC where high school students learn about government and citizenship. CWF is more than a Washington, D.C. field trip – it’s an opportunity for 4‑H’ers to learn how to be citizen leaders and make a difference in their communities. The next delegation will be Summer 2022. Delegates are selected early so funds may be raised and decisions can be made. Frontier District 4-H members, 15-18 years of age by January 1, 2022, are eligible to apply. Interested members must complete an application and be approved. Applications are due May 1, 2020.

OS & AN Beef Tagging Dates & Information
KSRE and Kansas 4-H have now said that we CAN have tag dates as long as we are using the recommended "social distancing". With this being said, we feel that we can now offer two dates each for Osage and Anderson counties to TAG ONLY.
During each tagging date, we ask that you have your animals tied in the trailer and you will have someone with you that can go in and tag your own animal/s. We will take all precautions necessary to disinfect our tagger and use social distancing so we ask that you please do the same and not get out of your vehicle until it is your turn to be tagged.
We will also have available all state paperwork and DNA envelopes available for those of you planning to go on to KJLS or State fair.Frontier District Small Animal Weigh-in & Tagging Dates
