We would like as many books as possible to be dropped off<em> <strong>before <\/strong><\/em><strong>September 1<\/strong><em> <\/em>so that we can begin scoring.&nbsp;*If you are unable to drop books off at the office, please send me an email so I can help.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Youth members and clubs that are attending the Yakima Valley Fair &amp; Rodeo and the Central Washington State Fair may keep their record books until after those fairs are over.However, the 4-H year ends September 30th, so please turn them in as soon as possible so that we can get them scored and awards processed before the awards dinner on November 1st.
