Colorado State 4-H Conference Report and Contest Results

The 2008 Colorado State 4-H Conference was held on the Colorado State University campus in the heart of Fort Collins, Colorado, June 23-27, 2008. About 350 youth attended conference titled 4-H: The Key to Your Future.

The conference speaker, Laurie Stewart, kept the youth involved with interactive speeches, and leadership based workshops. Youth also attended workshops presented from various volunteers, staff members, and peers focusing on a wide variety of issues facing youth today.

The Colorado State 4-H Senate held elections where representatives from all areas of the state elected Daniel Howell (Las Animas) as the 2008-09 State President and Mack Witzel (Kit Carson) as the 2008-09 State Vice President.

The conference was also privileged to host four IFYE (International Four-H Youth Exchange) delegates this year. The IFYE program is an in-depth learning experience in which 4-H alumni and other young adults live with host families in other countries to increase global awareness, develop independent study interests and improve language skills.
