• Scholars will be recognized by Districts during each nightly assembly. Each name will be called so Scholars have a chance to step forward and be recognized on stage.

ADDING in 2023
• District Pre-Assembly activity (Tuesday – Thursday)
• Monday Kick Off Event – More details to come but I promise you DON’T WANT TO MISS IT!! So, plan your travel accordingly.
• All exclusive week-long pass that covers contests and workshop opportunities. No separate charges this year for workshops and contests. Day passes will be an option, however that will only grant access for that single day of events including assemblies. If you want to attend events the night before/after your day pass, you would need the All Exclusive pass or purchase daily passes for multiple days. As we work to finalize our budget, registration pricing will be released soon.
HERE TO STAY
• High quality, state competitions for our Senior level (9th -12th grade) 4-H members
• Recognition of our 4-H members and volunteers
• College/Career Fair
• Workshops to provide youth and adults opportunities to network when not competing
• High energy assemblies
• Door prizes
• Networking opportunities with 4-H members from across Texas
• Parking permits through A&M Transportation, will require you to enter a license plate for your vehicle when purchasing your event permit – sorry this one is out of my control 😊
Additional registration information will be released in March. Registration will be on 4HOnline starting May 1. Both youth and adults attending will need to register. We encourage adults to go ahead and get their profiles set up in 4HOnline to pre-register. Onsite registration will be available this year for those attending just assemblies. Workshops and contest participation will require registration through 4HOnline for both youth/adults. We are looking forward to seeing everyone June 5-8, 2023 in Bryan/College Station and on the campus of Texas A&M University!
