4-H 421 was developed under the guidance of many 4-H volunteers, parents, and staff members. Input and suggestions were given by many people at various 4-H events and through email requests for comments. Also, input was given by people who agreed to review the draft document. Many thanks to everyone throughout the whole state who contributed in any way to make this updated rule book possible as well as the original creators of 4-H 419 and contributors to the 4-H 420 version.
