4-H club members from all over Nevada had the unique opportunity to dive into the heart of Nevada’s government, exploring the Legislative Building and meeting their state representatives! Throughout the day they got to sit alongside their senators and assembly people, listening in on important committee discussions and seeing firsthand how laws are made in our state.

Participants also had the opportunity to meet President Brian Sandoval and Extension Director Jacob Dedecker. They also explored the historic streets of Virginia City and visited and toured the beautiful University of Nevada, Reno campus.

Thank you to everyone who made this an amazing experience for our youth. Go Nevada! Go Pack!
