Nebraska Extension 4-H staff from around Northeast Nebraska will be presenting a smorgasbord of fun-filled virtual presentations to help 4-Hers build their skills and jump start their projects for county fair.

These are tentative as schedules may change, but based on trips we have taken in the past, we try to book similar dates every three years.
