ANGOLA â Youth in grades 7-12 are invited to participate in 18 days of fun and learning about a variety of topics as part of the Indiana 4-H Road Show.
The road show includes parts of the 4-H Academy at Purdue, the state 4-H Junior Leader Conference and 4-H Round-Up in a series of one-day sessions being held in several locations across the area instead of bringing hundreds of people together in one location for the events.
Each session will be held in multiple counties around the state and participants can gather in person with other students interested in the same topics.

In 1919, an influenza pandemic prevented youth in Indiana from participating in an annual Purdue event held for farmers and rural youth, forcing leaders to organize an event for youth in the spring that many now know as 4-H Round-Up. Just over 100 years later, 4-H leaders are once again reinventing programming because of a pandemic.
“No matter the circumstances, Purdue Extension continues to offer practical research-based information to our communities. As the needs in our communities change, the programs that are offered also change. The same is true for Indiana 4-H,” says Sam Williams, 4-H youth development educator and county extension director in Pulaski County.
