New 4-H Year Enrollment Payment Update |
It has come to our attention that while enrolling 4-H members, the final payment due says that it is $15 dollars. This is incorrect and does not show the complete enrollment fee of $50 for the 4-H year. We still have not decided how we are going to process payments yet so please do not submit any as of now.

4-H Enrollment Late Fee Waived - This Year Only |
With so much uncertainty this year, we have decided to suspend the re-enrollment late fee that would normally be imposed after December 1st. If you are choosing to re-enroll, please still do so as early as you can so we are able to determine enrollment status.
Please remember the deadline to enroll/re-enroll and be eligible to participate in the 2021 Arapahoe County Fair is April 1, 2021. There will be no exceptions to this rule for any reason.
Beef Members: Please note that beef members will need to be enrolled by MARCH 1 in order to participate in Tag-In.

To apply for the program email Ethan so he knows you are interested and then click on the image above and complete the online application. There is also a mandatory form that they will need to print off and complete. They have extended the application deadline until January 15th, 2021. The applications will be screened and then they will randomly draw for the 40 spots, instead of the typical rodeo catches.
