4-H Day at the Capitol

4-H Day at the Capitol Registration,
Below you will find link for registration for 4-H Day at the Capitol. This e-mail is on the long side, yes, but it really does contain valuable information, so I encourage you to read it – all. I know that everyone is excited to get registered, and I want to remind you that registration is limited for certain tours and for the available buses, this means that they will be first registered, first picked. The choice will be removed from selection online when they are no longer available.
Facts you should read before you begin:
· Registration will be open from now until April 2.
· The registration page is not password protected, so if you feel comfortable sending it to a few select volunteers to help you register youth in your county, it may be done at your discretion.
· One the registration page there will be an e-mail box, a confirmation of registration will be sent to that e-mail address. You may want to use it differently if you do not want to send the participant the confirmation e-mail, you can always put in your e-mail. If volunteers are registering others they may want to submit the confirmation page with payment to county office.
· The confirmation page should be retained, as it contains final tour, lunch, bus, and t-shirt size.
· Counties will receive a copy of all registered participants on April 7 or when requested if before then (please expect a one day business wait).
· Participation/Health forms must travel with youth when outside of counties, but do not need to be submitted for registration.

Payment:
On the hard copy of the registration form, it asks that payment be turned in with registration form. I highly suggest that you follow this, because we will NOT accept multiple checks from individuals. Please combine payments at the county level and send one county check. Payments can be sent directly to the State Events Office. Payments are due April 22, but please contact us if an extension is needed.
Once Again
As always I encourage you to contact the State Events Office if you have any questions. We will do our best to help you out.
