It's time to sell KNEB 4-H Radio Days Ads! KNEB generously donates air time to the Scotts Bluff County 4-H program so we can tell the community about 4-H. Each pre-scripted 30-second 4-H promotional ad, recorded by Junior Leaders, will name the sponsoring business. KNEB runs the ads on their AM and FM stations during the month of March. 4-H members sell the ads to businesses and individuals. Ads are $10 each. Sponsor information and payment are due to the Extension Office by February 14 so that the ads can be recorded and on the air.
4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with caring adults.
4-H is education for life that uses a learn-by-doing approach.

Youth Classic Judging Contest
There are big changes this year for the Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic Livestock Judging Contest. The contest will be held on Saturday, February 15th, at the Buffalo County Fairgrounds in Kearney, NE, with an Awards Banquet that evening. The entire contest will take place in the Expo Building and Ag Pavilion.
The Nebraska Association of Fair Managers will award a $500 scholarship to one qualifying 4-H male and a $500 scholarship to one qualifying 4-H female who are graduating seniors in the State of Nebraska and who plan to continue with post high school education. The scholarship will be awarded at the annual NAFM convention in January. Winners will be notified by January 4, 2020. Return your completed application to the Extension Office by December 2, 2019.
A limited number of 4-H members have the opportunity to catch a calf each January during the National Western Stock Show held in Denver, Colorado. Successful catchers will receive their calf in May 2020 to begin feeding the calf to market finish. Youth must show and sell their calf at the 2021 National Western Stock Show. The calves used for this contest are bought with money donated by business sponsors.
Awards are given for outstanding service to the Scotts Bluff County 4-H program each year at the 4-H Achievement Celebration hosted by your local 4-H Council. Deadline for nominations is October 15, 2019. We are looking for nominations for the following awards:
