Virtual Dog Show

 

The Kentucky 4-H Dog Program will be offering two virtual events in March, the Dog Skillathon Event and Dog Day Camp. Any 4-H member may participate in either event. Due to COVID, educational hours are not required for the Skillathon Event for this year only.

 

Please see registration information below. County Extension staff may register individuals or you can send the link directly to families to register their children.

 

Please let me know if you have questions. A huge shout out to Patrick Allen and Chanda Hall for their leadership in making this opportunity available for our youth!
