Thank you for being a GREAT supporter of Merrick County 4-H.  In 2023, we had 278 members and 62 volunteers enrolled to “Grow 4-H”!  We are well on our way to exceeding that number in 2024. It is exciting to be a part of making 4-H a year-round program teaching life skills and helping youth become confident, caring and contributing citizens of good character. 

4-H dues do not have to be charged in our county because there is so much support from 4-H families, county businesses and organizations. If you would like to contribute financially to Merrick County 4-H, and keep it free to join, there is a streamlined process to give three different ways.  The three (3) ways you can donate to 4-H include:

2024 Premium Book (no ads)

Up to date Fair Schedule (as of 5/24/24)

2024 Ads (Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Fairbook)

2024 Premium Book with Ads
