Tennessee 4-H Round Up

Ok, I am done with my summer adventures!
  I can now show y'all  my summer adventures and many pictures! The trip in the middle of the month was Round Up. It was held at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.  It is an excellent opportunity to share your 4-H project experiences with others.    In order to be able to attend you have to be accepted based on your project portfolio, which is basically a record book or your project. I got accepted in my project field: Beef.  We arrived on a Monday, interviewed with professors or industry leaders on Tuesday, Wednesday was the  College Tour, Thursday was a fun trip to Dollywood and Friday we returned  home! Short and sweet right?  Well, long enough for me to take lots of photos! The competition at round up is a lot of fun.  We are all judged on our interview and a small board showcasing our project.  But... That is not the reason I go!   Every single one of my competitors does a wonderful job and anyone of us could win each year.  So, I try not to stress over the competition.  My real love is networking with professors, industry leaders and friends.
