These days 4-H is about much more than animal husbandry. It’s a national youth development program with vast areas of emphasis, from communication and civic responsibility to robotics and entrepreneurship. Molly Yurdana is the extension agent for Gallatin County and she was nice enough to host EBS with Hoary Marmot at the fairgrounds with a couple of her youth leaders and lots and lots of animals. You can see 4-H members in action at The Big Sky Country State Fair July 16-20.
