NATIONAL 4-H SHOOTING SPORTS QUIZ BOWL
Local Interest
The Cass County Shooting Sports Contest that was originally scheduled on July 25-26, 2020 has been postponed. The 4-H office wishes to provide all enrolled youth with the opportunity to safely develop their shooting sports skills under the guidance of a 4-H certified instructor. In order to allow youth to meet the number of direct instruction hours that are required for this project, we will be postponing all events in the shooting sports county contest until a later date. At this time we hope to schedule the contest yet this fall for those enrolled in this project. Please stay tuned to the newsblast for more details as we finalize our plans for this and other fair-related contests and events. Thank you for your understanding as we aim to make the best better.

New plans for the tractor safety training courses that were originally scheduled around the state are designed to protect the health of the students and trainers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will take the first day of the course online through the eXtension Foundation Campus website. After successfully completing the online course and testing, the required driving test will be offered at five locations across Nebraska July 27-31, 2020.
Teens 14 or 15 years of age who work on farms, or others who are interested in learning about safe farming practices, are encouraged to register for the Course. Anyone under age 14 is not eligible to take the class.
