together4-H’ers from various county clubs in the two-day

works and helps 4-H’ers understand their responsibilities
as citizens. Each 4-H member chooses a particular state
agency for an in-depth visit

donors were recognized with a banquet The donors were
seated with the 4-H’ers so they could learn about different
4-H programs. On the second day, 4-H’ers were joined by
senators and representatives at a legislative breakfast The
day ended with a tour of the state’s capitol and visits to
legislators’ offices.
