For the 71st year, 4-H members from across Tennessee will gather to participate in Tennessee 4-H Congress. The annual event, which will take place March 18-21, gives 4-H’ers the opportunity to learn about the day-to-day functioning of state government by assuming the roles of state representatives and senators. Since its beginning in 1948, 4-H Congress has given some 37,000 4-H’ers and volunteer leaders firsthand experience in state government.
