4-H GUIDELINES CLAY COUNTY, SD June 2020 A NOTE FROM LAUREN Finally, some good news is coming for our 4H activities and events for this summer! We do first need to get through June, where our Level A will continue. This means that we will continue the no facetoface policy. All activities, events, club meetings, etc. will continue to be virtual for the month of June. Beginning July 1, we will begin to transition to Level B, but in multiple phases. Under the first portion of Level B, we would still prefer that events take place virtually when possible, but we will be able to begin some activities of 15 people or less. All participants must practice good hygiene and maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet whether indoors or out. The wearing of masks will also be required. Beginning August 1, we will move to the next phase of Level B, which will open our activities and events to 50 people or less. There may still be activities that take place virtually. The physical distancing and mask requirements will still be in effect. It should be noted that these protocols are passed down from SDSU and have been carefully prepared for the safety and wellbeing of employees, guests, and the public that we interact with. They were written with guidance from SDSU, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the South Dakota Department of Health. Decisions for movement into more or less restrictive plan phases will depend on the trend direction of local data including hospitalization rates, level of community spread, or the emergence of a local hot spot. We will still need to continue to follow the policy of SDSU Extension, but this means that restrictions are subject to change based on local needs. Please remember that we are not yet in a position to be moving back to the way things were before March 15 th . Please be patient and understanding as we work through these changes. We are excited to start working toward “normal” and to be able to start seeing all of you in person! MEAT GOAT CORRECTION FROM STATE 4-H OFFICE An error was made in the instrucƟons when enrolling Meat Goats into 4HOnline. Please note: With the changes made for this year’s State Fair, there are 2 divisions of Breeding Meat Goats. Registered does DO need to upload registraƟon papers prior to July 1. We apologize for the confusion, but please share with your meat goat families the updated note which is now on 4honline. This does not change how they enter the animal, just a reminder to upload the registraƟon papers by July 1. Breeding Meat Goats will be shown in two divisions: Registered and Commercial. Registered Breeding Meat Goats will be shown by date of birth listed on their registraƟon papers. RegistraƟon papers must be uploaded into 4H online by July 1st. Commercial Breeding Meat Goats will be shown by weight. BINGO WINNERS Congratulations to Avienda Margheim, Ian Margheim and Chloe Klunder for having the winning BINGO cards!
