aged Japanese students and one adult
chaperone arriving in Maryland will be
staying with host families for a little less
than one month.
During this time, the Japanese
delegates are to be included as if they
were family, sharing in family outings,
responsibilities, and everyday life.
If you have 4-H aged youth at
home and are potentially interested in
hosting a delegate or know anyone who
might be, share your interest with your

Fighting Cancer with an IMPORTANT

To show support for all of those involved
in the fight against cancer, the Carroll

to provide one specially designed
lavender t-shirt for each individual
showing an animal in the Fair. The tshirt will replace the white polo shirt
as part of the official dress for
showing and must be tucked in; all
other items (pants, belt, footwear, etc.)
will remain the same. This rule change
will be in effect ONLY for the Carroll
County 4-H/FFA Fair and ONLY for this
year. In addition to the lavender shirts,
there will be collections taken to support
local organizations and medical centers
involved in cancer treatment. More
details about the distribution of the shirts
will be available closer to the start of the
Fair.

contests for this year’s fair. This is a new
procedure for this year’s fair.
NEW VIDEO CONTEST FOR

questions, please contact the appropriate
department superintendent.
Promoting 4-H at the Fair
Are you interested in promoting your 4-H
projects during the fair? How about

Set-up/Clean-up Plan for the
2013 CC 4-H/FFA Fair
Shipley Building
While this is a new idea, the Fair Board is
going through with a Set-up/Clean-up
Plan for the 2013 Fair.
Youth with last names starting A – L
will have the set-up chore this year. On
Saturday, July 20th, youth ages 8-13 will
be expected to arrive at about 1pm to
help put shavings in pens, set up signs,
put out trash cans and other duties to be
determined. You will not be expected to
be here all day and this will alleviate the
problem of youth being around
equipment.
Youth with last names starting M – Z
will have the clean-up chore this year
(this will be switched next year). On
Sunday, August 4, youth ages 8-13 will
be expected to arrive (not sure of time
yet) to help gather trash cans, clean
them up for storage, pick up trash from
the parking area and buildings and other
duties to be determined. Again, this is
not expected to be an all day work event.
More information will be coming as
details are finalized.
Horticulture Club
Do you have an interest in bugs and getting your hands dirty? If so, join the 4-H
Horticulture Club on June 13, 2013 at 6:00PM at the Extension Office to kick off the

and learn more about growing fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Contact Tommy Diffendal at
tdiffend@umd.edu for more information. There will only be three meetings this year, so
participate while you can!
