Minnesota 4-H Dog Project Showcase

The state dog committee would like to highlight the Minnesota 4-H Dog project at the Minnesota State Fair during the livestock encampment weekend. We need youth from the 4-H dog project to be involved in this showcase in the 4-H Building and the Pet Center Building. This is a great opportunity to help promote the Minnesota 4-H Dog Project and we need lots of help to make this a success!
