Traveling to National 4-H Congress was a once in a lifetime experience. The memories I made, the friendships I made, and the friendships I strengthened will last a lifetime. National Congress was not only a very fun experience, but it was also a learning experience.
Wow!! What a blast National 4-H Congress was! I just got back from National Congress which is held in Atlanta, Georgia. It was an awesome experience. I have never had so much fun in my life, and I met so many new friends, some from PA and many from other states. Pennsylvania had 40 delegates and was one of the larger delegations there. We had to be at the Pittsburgh Airport at 4:30 am Black Friday morning, and our plane arrived in Georgia around 7 am, but we actually didn’t have to be at registration until 4:30 pm so we had a considerable amount of downtime to start the week.
One amazing experience, two Indiana County 4-H members, 42 states and 1 territory, 912 delegates, and infinite memories! This can explain the 2011 National 4-H Congress held in Atlanta, Georgia, November 25-29. It is so hard to begin with just one thing to explain this amazing trip. I guess to start would be the plane ride. Both Garrett and my first plane ride started with Garrett being super excited about it, and I just was a little bit freaked out by it. We left the airport at 6:50 am on Friday to take an hour and fifteen minute flight to Georgia.
