4-H Special Interest Groups
Some special interest topics are offered on either countywide or local basis. Most of these are short-term, but some run year-round. Some classic examples include the Friends Helping Friends Day, Old MacDonald's Barnyard at the Merced County Fair, 4-H Guide Dog Puppy raisers, and Tech Team.
Contact the County 4-H Office for more information on special interest groups.
As of 2011, this is not one of the priority focuses for the county 4-H program due to budget constraints. Contact the UCCE/4-H office at 209 385-7403 for more details.
