Starting in 2024, project selection will be optional with the exception of the horse and shooting sports (see note below) By successfully completing the 4-H member enrollment by June 15, youth will be eligible to participate and exhibit in any project area, any contest, their county fair, and the Nebraska State Fair. While optional, youth are encouraged to select projects they are interested in exploring each program year.

Please note: Youth are only eligible to exhibit in a project area or contest in a single County. Horse or shooting sports projects will continue to require project enrollment due to parental consent required for participation.

Families will need to be responsible for completing the required ID sheets and getting their animals eartagged by the deadlines set by the county offices. This will include market beef weigh-in and entering animal data into Show Stock Manager for nominations for State Fair.

Projects are now grouped on 4-H ONLINE by curriculum and not by project name. Please see the CUSTER COUNTY 4-H PROJECT LIST. The BOLDED and HIGHLIGHTED curriculum areas are the "projects" that youth will sign up for on 4-H ONLINE this year. The projects listed under each curriculum area are the projects youth will be eligible to participate/exhibit. County Fair exhibit requirements will be printed in the COUNTY FAIR PREMIUM BOOK. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT THE EXTENSION OFFICE.

All 4-H members and leaders MUST enroll on this system EVERY YEAR. One important item to remember is to ALWAYS go back into your record to be sure that the projects you intended really do show up on your record before the enrollment deadline. If you wait until the last minute to enroll, the Extension Staff may not be available to assist you with your questions. If you need help with the 4-H ONLINE enrollment system, please contact the Extension Office (308) 872-6831
