What is an E-record?

An E-record is an Electronic Record Book.

This means that you can go to the 4-H Website, download the record, save it to a name you will remember, and then you can work on it in a Word or Word-type program. Then at Fair time, you print it out after being typed in on the computer or your can print it out and write on it by your own penmanship in either pencil or pen, and turn it in at the proper time to the
Extension Office or bring with your project to interview judging.
If you don't have a microsoft word, you can download for free openoffice.org and use it for your records
or stop by our office and we can give you one on a CD for $1.00

REMEMBER:
Completed Horse, Pocket Pets & Livestock records are due to the Extension Office in 2nd Monday in August by 4 pm. Date to be posted later.

Pocket Pet Books are to be completed as much as possible and brought the the Pocket Pet Show at Fair. After the show, complete your records and turn they in at the same time as the livestock and horse books!
