Trade Show Registration NOW OPEN

2019 Texas 4-H Roundup is just over five months away. This year the 2019 Texas 4-H Roundup will be held in College Station, TX June 10-13, 2019.  The theme this year is “Make Your Mark”.

The headquarters will once again be held at Reed Arena.  The Trade Show will be setup along the concourse. The State 4-H Program is anticipating a large turnout again this year for State 4-H Roundup and are estimating 4,000 registered attendees. The Texas 4-H Roundup Trade Show is a great way for businesses and universities to meet prospective students, customers, and employees. The youth and adults at 4-H Roundup are very interested in learning about education and career opportunities offered.

Trade Show Hours

Setup Tuesday 8 am – noon (Optional Wednesday setup from 8 am – noon if unable to attend Tuesday)

• June 11 -  1:00 PM - 7:00 PM
• June 12  - 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM
• June 13 -  1:00 PM - 6:00 PM

*NEW THIS YEAR* During the week of Texas 4-H Roundup we will be offering LEAD (Learn, Empower, Apply, Develop) Academy. This is a new, targeted workshop series, which will kick off on Monday afternoon. 4-H members will have an opportunity to learn about college opportunities and what it takes to get there, serve their community, and gain valuable life skills in a true college setting. Each day will be a targeted focus with Wednesday this year’s tentatively focused around college preparedness. Our vision is that we would involve our collegiate and career preparedness trade show vendors in direct activities with this workshop series in the mornings before the trade show opens to others attending the event.  This will give our vendors a targeted audience with whom you can share the information regarding your college or career opportunities. This event is in the beginning stages of planning and we welcome any feedback our college partners may have regarding this event. This event is targeting 4-H members that may not already be attending Texas 4-H Roundup which is considered one of our pinnacle 4-H statewide events. Each year we have provided a variety of workshop opportunities during Roundup week, but this is a much more targeted, focused approach. We hope this will entice 4-H members not competing in Roundup to want to come be a part of this event. Those competing will also have an opportunity to participate in the LEAD Academy activities when not competing.

Announcing *NEW* LEAD Academy

The Texas 4-H Youth Development Program is excited to announce a new opportunity for our High School age 4-H members. This year, June 10-13 in College Station, we will be offering LEAD Academy. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about college opportunities and what it takes to get there, serve their community, and gain valuable life skills in a true college setting. Our goal of this activity will be to provide the opportunity for young people to connect, learn, engage, lead and impact their communities, their country and their world. The event will be designed to engage youth in hands-on educational activities in which they explore, practice and master existing and newly developed skills/knowledge in civic engagement, civic education and personal development. The objective is to provide youth a broad- based learning experience in which they will acquire practical knowledge and skills to reinforce the attitudes and motivation that will give them a heightened sense of responsibility and capacity to connect as active members of their communities, nation and world. From this experience, we hope the youth attending will apply what was learned in their real world experiences in which they develop leadership skills using their voices, work, ideas and/or behavior to make a difference in their community, country and world.

LEAD Academy participants may also be competing at Texas 4-H Roundup, but LEAD Academy is NOT limited to Roundup competitors.
