You have seen her at plenty of Kewaunee County 4-H events, but Pilsen Skylighters member Megan Salentine took her love for the organization to Atlanta for the National 4-H Congress last month. It was the 100th anniversary of the National 4-H Congress, which began in 1920 and has been hosted in Atlanta since 1998. A senior at Luxemburg-Casco High School, Salentine joined over 30 other delegates from different Wisconsin counties for the event. While the over 800 delegates from across the country got to fit in some sightseeing, the National 4-H Congress also featured a number of workshops, guest speakers, and other events. Salentine says she enjoyed meeting people from around the nation.
Even after going national with her 4-H experiences, Salentine still enjoys the monthly meetings and community service projects her club participates in throughout the year as one of its more experienced members.
