In 2024, the traditional 4-H Shooting Sports and Wildlife Invitational (State Shoot) is planned to be held Sept. 6-8 at the Alexandria Shooting Park.
Martin County Born and Raised swine MUST be declared as such on the 4-H affidavit, which was included in the Animal ID-ing mailing, and a veterinarian familiar with the pigflow must sign the affidavit confirming their qualifications prior to County Fair (or 4-H Showcase equivalent) Check-In. Affidavit MUST be turned into the 4-H Office.
Young people from across Minnesota will have the opportunity to compete in local meets in events including archery, muzzle loader, shotgun, air rifle, .22 rifle and air pistol. Skillathon, wildlife calling, conservation projects and cast iron cooking will be available in a virtual format.
At this show, you will see 4-H'ers of all ages showing their riding skills in Western and English styles, their knowledge of horses and teamwork.
