Katie Bragg wrote of her experience: “4-H Academic Conference was so much fun. It gave me an opportunity to look deeper
into my project area. It also allowed me
to make new friends across the state that were also interested in that project
area. The project area that I worked in
was Food and Nutrition. We actually got
to look at real colonies of bacteria.
That was neat. We also got to
make picture frames and cards for veterans.
I learned a lot about my project, but also about service and helping
others. The trip to Dollywood and all of
the extra activities were a blast. I
had a great time, and I think anyone willing to learn would love it!”
Programs where conducted in the following project areas: Beef,
Dog, Sheep, Cat, Forestry, Swine, Consumer Education, Garden/Home Horticulture,
Wildlife and Fisheries, Citizenship, Horse, Veterinary Science, Dairy, Line and
Design, Dairy Foods/Foods-Nutrition and Poultry.
