Enrollment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t re-enrolled your family in 4-H yet, now is the time to do so. There are only a few of the 500 Commemorative 2025 Pierce County Fair patches left. Enrollment is necessary to take part in Club, County, and State meetings, activities, and events. By reenrolling now, you also ensure that your youth family members are covered by 4-H\u2019s accident insurance. Additionally, if you’re a leader and have updated your hours in GivePulse, you’ll be covered by L&I Insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
