Animal Certification Reminder
As you enroll in 4honline, don’t forget to re-certify all animals in 4HOnline. Market animals used again must be reentered each year. List all the animals you are planning to take to the fair now – so you’re ready for FairEntry next summer! Dog members need to check the fine print on Fields to see where to enter their dog’s breed.
Do you know a senior youth or adult leader who goes above and beyond for your club or project? Pierce County is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Volunteer Awards!
Selected volunteers will receive a certificate, small gift, and an invitation to a special brunch on April 11, 2026, where they’ll be honored by the County Executive and Council Chair. Nominators are also invited to attend the free brunch.
To nominate someone, send their name and a brief description of their service to Mike Seiber.
Help us recognize the volunteers who make our programs great!
Request to Use Buildings at Frontier Park
The Pierce County Fairgrounds at Frontier Park has buildings available for 4-H clubs and projects to use free of charge. The buildings must be reserved at least one week in advance by filling out the online form and submitting it. The buildings are only available during regular park hours. Schedule your meeting so you have time to clean up and pack so members and leaders can leave the park before the park closes.
Super Saturday
The tentative date for the 2026 Pierce County 4-H Super Saturday is January 31, 2026. If you or someone you know would like to share your knowledge and skills, become an instructor. Instructors can be leaders, parents, outside experts, or senior youth leaders. To lead a workshop at Super Saturday, fill out the Call for Workshop Proposal form. Each instructor is limited to three topics.
