State dog show

The Minnesota 4-H State Dog Show depends on many volunteers to run smoothly. You can volunteer in many ways. Each county needs ring stewards. Ring stewards must be a responsible adult or youth leader (grade seven or older). Check with your local 4-H program staff for details.

4-H dog project volunteer leader recognition

Does your county have an outstanding youth and/or adult volunteer in the dog project? If so, nominate them for a youth leader or adult leader award to be presented at the state dog show. For questions related to the State 4-H Dog Show, you should contact the volunteer coordinators, Jan Brule at janbrule@aol.com or Kelsey Aszmann at tegapup@aol.com.
