4 -H Record Books are also called e-Records. Each project has its own record book that members are required to complete each year. The links to e-Records in the specific project areas are below. Record books are turned in at Interview Judging before our County Fair. In June, you will need to schedule an interview for each of your project areas and bring your record book with you to Interview Judging the week of the Larimer County 4-H Fair.

We have more information about how to fill out your record books here.

The video series below was created by Larimer County Scrapbooking Project Key Leader & NOCO Cowboys Organizational Leader, Amber Hersh. These videos are intended to support Larimer County 4-H scrapbooking project members in learning scrapbooking skills and to supplement upcoming virtual and in-person workshops.
