Howard County Maryland 4-H

06/06/2026

Ready for a great day for the Howard County 4-H Showdown in the Shavings! Thanks to all of our sponsors we have great prizes to give away.

06/01/2026

Today is the day... don't miss out. June 1st is our deadline to be enrolled in a project for eligibility to participate in that project for the year. What does that mean? For example, if you want to enter photography in the 4-H/FFA Indoor Building at the fair, you need to be enrolled in the photography project. This gives you eligibility to then enter individual classes (i.e. black/white photo, landscape, etc.) for the fair through the 4-H/FFA fair entry system. The 4-H/FFA system will be open soon and an announcement will be made when it is up and running.

To make changes, log into your Maryland 4-H Enrollment account and you can add or delete projects. https://4honline.com/ #/user/sign-in
