Home Design and Decor
Plan a full menu, create a place setting, cook an item from the menu, and wow the judges! The Creative Cooks Contest helps 4-H members build important life skills. All 4-H members are welcome to enter. The registration deadline is May 27th.
Learn to embrace home arts, home furnishings, and refinishing furniture. Members may also learn how to best incorporate color, light, design, space, and texture in a living space to optimize comfort and appearance.
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.
