4-H
legislative connection
[MARCH
13, 2000]
Over
2,000 4-H members and their families took a crash course in state
lawmaking during the 4-H Legislative Connection 2000 at the state
capitol on Thursday, March 2. Four-H youth across Illinois who
received Superior Award ratings at the Illinois State Fair last
August were invited to display their projects and rub elbows with
their Illinois legislators. The 4-H’ers took part in legislative
workshops, toured the capitol complex and met with their
legislators during the event.

Four-H
projects were on display in a showcase of "The Best of the
Best." A midday rally in the capitol rotunda saluted the
Illinois 4-H program and its impact on youth.
