The 2020 Kansas 4-H Discovery Days registration is now open. The statement below has been added to the registration to establish clear expectations for those registering.

“In this time of uncertainty, we have opened the Kansas 4-H Discovery Days registration with the understanding that at any point we may need to cancel this event. We will close registration and post information if and when that may be deemed necessary. If we cancel the event, refunds will be processed. Thank you for understanding.”
