The program is targeted to 4-H and FFA youth ages 11-18 (4-H Intermediates & Seniors, FFA Middle & High School), leaders/coaches, teachers/advisors, and Extension Agents. There will be a $15 per person registration fee for both youth and adults. Please return the preregistration form and payment postmarked by December 11, 2009.
