“The Naches Valley 4-H Club has had a very busy summer. In June we volunteered our time and labor to build the new sheep and goat stalls at the West Valley Fairgrounds. They were a great addition to the fair this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the West Valley Fair we had 40 members from our club showing everything from poultry and rabbits to steers, pigs, goats and sheep. We also had about 30 of our club members enter items in the Blue Barn.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve Goat to be Kidding!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We’re not kidding! Members of the community are reaching out to see if any of our local 4-H youth members would be interested in registered Sable Saanen doelings for sale. These could make for great show goats! They were both born April 26, 2025<\/strong> and are hoping to have a new home by September<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the goat owner, Robin Scott at 509-968-8788. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated Safety Policy Training for Volunteers \u2013 Deadline was June 1st, 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We want to inform about updated safety policy (WSU Protection and Safety of Minors), which is now being implemented across all WSU programs, including Washington 4-H. Since it was written primarily for WSU campus employees, some parts may feel less relevant to 4-H, so we created a 15-minute training to guide you through what matters!  All 4-H Volunteers in Washington were asked to complete the training by June 1st, 2025. <\/strong>The online training linked below is the quickest training option and doesn\u2019t require any logins. If you would rather complete this training in-person or via Zoom with local staff please reach out to Autumn Britt, our local Program Manager, at Autumn.Britt@wsu.edu<\/a> or 509-588-7817<\/a> (work cell, text\/call). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quick training is available online <\/a>and covers the key points of select topics within EP-14, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
