The deadline has arrived! All Randolph County 4-H Records are due into the Extension Office on Friday, December 12 by 4:00 PM.

These books will be sent to Guilford County for judging and results will be announced at Honors Night.

We have received books from several 4-H members already, so don't delay.

Record books are a great way to record the learning and growing that you have done all year long. Many former 4-H members used their record books when they began applying for college and college scholarships.
