Record Books

2011 Record Books are due to the UW-Extension office by 5 p.m. September 6th

In La Crosse County 4-H, completing a Record Book allows you to compete for multiple county project awards. These awards are given at the annual Achievement Celebration. Record Book awards are given based on what you have learned in your project; not how you did in any competition (fair, foods revue, etc).  Your Record Book tells the evaluator the story of your project from beginning to end. It tells what you had hoped to accomplish when you signed up to take this project as well as the journey of learning along the way. In the end, it gives a recap of what happened did it go well, did it not go so well, what would you do differently, etc. So, a Record Book is  documentation of your learning journey with your projects.

Below you will find information as well as the forms that you will need to develop your record book.

Junior books are those submitted by members who were in grades 3-7.

Senior books are those submitted by members who were in grades 8-13 (one year past high school).
