The enrollment deadline for new members who plan to participate in the Wayne County Fair is April 1st. Returning members must be enrolled by February 1st to participate in the Fair. These deadlines will be enforced in the interest of fairness for all our 4-H families.

The cost for youth enrollment this year is the same as last year. (Volunteer applications are free.)

$50 – 1 child in a family enrolling in 4-H
$70 – 2 children in a family enrolling in 4-H
$80 – 3 children in a family enrolling in 4-H
$90 – 4 children in a family enrolling in 4-H
$100 – 5 or more children in a family enrolling in 4-H

Payment is due with this application, or the youth will not be considered fully enrolled until payment has been received*. If you have a coupon or certificate that reduces the cost of your family's enrollment, this must be received by the 4-H office along with payment. 

We accept the following forms of payment to cover the youth enrollment fee: 

• Cash
• Check - Made out to CCE Wayne, with "4-H Enrollment" along with the youth's name in the memo
• Paypal - Be sure to select "4-H Enrollment" from the dropdown list, and note the name(s) of the youth(s) you are enrolling. Additionally, please consider checking the box to pay the additional PayPal fee to ensure the full 4-H Enrollment Fee amount goes toward programming. Thank you!
