Plan Now for 2010 NC 4-H Congress July 19-22
We just wanted to share a few details regarding 4-H Congress 2010 with you.
Dates: The dates for Congress this year are July 19-22, 2010.
Location : We will be staying in the following dorms on NC State's campus : Bowen, Carroll and Metcalf
Cost: Full time (Monday-Thursday) registration will be $250. This year we will offer one part time option. Youth can have the option of spending Monday night only for $125. Congress fees have not increased for this year, but also are not decreasing even with the reduction of one night for full time. Costs for Congress events have increased and we are trying to provide youth with an even higher quality event for their money.
Deadlines: Due to the deadline with University Housing we will not be able to offer a late registration option this year. All Haywood County youth registrations must be submitted no later than Wednesday, June 30, at 5PM.
We hope you are looking forward to another great 4-H Congress this summer! If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email (828-456-3575, bill_skelton@ncsu.edu).
