It's time for youths ages 5-18 (as of January 1, 2026) to start preparing for 4-H Presentations & Talent Show! These events will be held during County Activity Day on the evening of April 24, 2026 at the Rowan County Cooperative Extension office.
To participate in presentations or talent, you MUST pre-register by April 10, 2026. Registration will open on March 2, 2026 in 4-HOnline under "events". If you need help registering for an event in 4-HOnline, follow these steps.
We will no longer be offering an Expressive Arts competition. You are encouraged to participate in the arts & crafts competitions at the Rowan County Fair where you can win ribbons AND money with the same type of entries.
All presentations & talent demonstrations will be given in-person to a panel of judges on April 24.
Each child can enter:
- up to 1 presentation
