Terrebonne Parish 4-H Brings Home State Winning Team from 4-H U for Third Year in a Row!
4-H Day at the Capitol
4-H is 4 U!
Twenty-three 4-H youth from Terrebonne Parish “Rushed into 4-H” at this year’s 95th annual 4-H University held in Baton Rouge on the LSU campus. Approximately 1,900 youth, agents and volunteers from across the state came together for a weeklong competition for best in the state in more than 40 events ranging from plant identification, photography and flight simulation to speechmaking and fashion design. In addition, students also took part in the noncompetitive learning event called Clover College, which includes seven hours of instruction over the three days. Terrebonne 4-H members spent many weeks preparing and studying to compete in the contests at 4-H University. Our 4-H members tested their knowledge in the contests of their choice and also experienced college life on the LSU campus while making lifelong friends and memories.

On June 3, 4-H members from across the state rallied along the steps of the Louisiana State Capitol for the Annual 4-H Day at the Capitol. 4-H'ers were able to meet with local representatives and senators to thank them for their support of the 4-H program and to update them about 4-H events in their areas. Terrebonne 4-H would like to thank Rep. Damon Baldone and Rep. Gordon Dove for taking the time to meet with our 4-H members. They had a wonderful time!
