✨"It makes me chuckle to think that one of the first places I learned to speak confidently was in the poultry barn at the Hartford Fair. If you can explain chicken anatomy to a judge while your bird tries its best to escape, you can handle a lot in life. I even won a turkey calling contest once. I like to joke that it was the start of my public speaking career.

Those small moments gave me confidence long before anything else did. 4-H really knows how to prepare you for anything.

Those early moments taught me to try things, even when they seemed a little unusual. Saying yes to opportunity led me to Junior Fair Board, National 4-H Conference, youth leadership trips, and eventually to serving as a Student Trustee in college. Opportunity is where growth begins, and 4-H gave me so many chances to start." - Travis Allen, 4-H Alum. Say YES today by making a gift here: https://bit.ly/3LkRNao 🍀
