Registration open for 4-H June Jamboree

University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H will host its annual June Jamboree, beginning at 5 p.m. June 14 at Fryeburg Fairgrounds. The event closes after lunch June 16.

The jamboree, open to all Maine 4-H families, is designed to help youth learn about the care, health and wellness of livestock; fitting and showmanship; and zoonotic diseases. Workshops are suitable for youth completing 4-H project work with sheep, swine, horses and working steer, including working steer tryouts for the Eastern States Exposition in September. Horseless riders are welcome.

The $20 fee, $10 for each additional family member, includes tent/camper space and meals. Youth must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. More information and registration are online. Event co-sponsors include Farm Credit East and Hannaford Supermarket in North Conway, New Hampshire.
