The Purpose The three project events have been created to give 4-H
members and their families an opportunity to try out several
different project areas, meet project leaders, begin or
complete a project and get feedback along the way. Many of
the completed projects are great opportunities to exhibit at
the Oconto County Youth Fair.
The Events January Thaw is the second of three Project
Events organized by the 4-H Project
Development Committee each year. 4-H Fall
Kick-Off was the first event, held prior to the
Achievement Banquet and Spring Fling will be held on April 6th.
The Pins Participants that complete the class requirements for a particular
project are eligible to receive a pin for that project area. Pins are awarded at the annual Achievement Banquet.

Education Points Three education points are required for all
individuals exhibiting a market animal at
the fair. Sessions with an asterisk (*) qualify
for 1 education point. Session participants
are eligible for 1 education point for each session they attend.
Leaving the Event Because we take the safety of our participants very seriously, we
appreciate parents and guardians checking in with the
registration table if they will be leaving with a participant before
the end of the day. This is especially important if they will not be
staying for a session they have registered for so we can maintain
the whereabouts and safety of everyone.
Open Sessions If, during the event, participants have open sessions, they will
report to the gym for supervised activities. They will remain
there until their next project session. No participants are
allowed to wander the halls or leave the building without a parent or guardian.
Shooting Sports Project Shooting sports will be offered during each session this year. We
hope this will give as many members as possible the opportunity
to be able to experience archery shooting.
The Shooting Sports session will focus on archery safety and
proper shooting. It will be taught by an adult leader certified
through the state 4-H Shooting Sports program.
