Martin, Tenn. – Members of 4-H chapters across Tennessee will gather at the University of Tennessee at Martin for the 94th-annual 4-H Roundup on July 24-28. More than 300 delegates representing almost every county in the state will participate in event. Activities for the delegates will include a visit to Discovery Park of America in Union City.
“UT Martin and northwest Tennessee welcome 4-H members from around the state for this traditional event,” said Dr. Keith Carver, university chancellor. “4-H does an exceptional job preparing young people for future leadership roles. Our university is a perfect setting for hosting project competition and recognizing the accomplishments of these top 4-H members.”
The theme for 2017 4-H Roundup is “Made from Scratch.” The idea is that a 4-Her grows personally and professionally in their time with the organization and always strives to be a better person.
One of the main events at Roundup is the state finals for project competitions. 4-Hers compete in events such as public speaking, livestock and photography. The competitors will have interviews with judges at Roundup, and then winners will be determined based on their on-site performances as well as their project books, which have already been submitted and judged.
