2026 4-H O-Rama
The 4-H O-Rama program is the culmination of a 4-H member’s year of hard work and dedication. It is designed to supplement the county 4-H program and project work. Each year contests are held on the county, district, and state level. 4-H O-Rama consists of approximately 40 competitive events. Most of these contests require each individual or team to qualify at the county and district level. Arkansas (State) 4-H O-Rama also offers state-only contests. During State 4-H O-Rama, 4-H members and adults have the opportunity to participate in educational workshops & tours offered throughout the event.
