Youth raisers ages 9-18 may join 4-H and raise their puppy as a 4-H project. Each year in July 4-H youth enter their project in the County Fair. Entries include a project book with a story and a poster or scrapbook describing one aspect of the puppy raising project. Entrants may also participate in an interview with the judges about their project. (At this time there is no Guide Dog project at the state level, so winning entries do not go on to the state fair). Winners receive recognition at the 4-H Awards night from both Arapahoe County and Guide Dogs for the Blind, and may be eligible to apply for 4-H and Guide Dog scholarships. Our raisers' posters are displayed throughout the year whenever we do educational programs.
