A New Event

In 2026, the Montanans for 4-H Committee decided to pursue a new event. Rather than a coordinated breakfast with legislators, Montana 4-H Day is a statewide event that invites Montanan 4-H’ers, families, and affiliated programs to share their enthusiasm for 4-H in an “open house” format, in the hopes to connect with a larger audience, and for the opportunity to include more 4-H voices.

2027 Montanans for 4-H Committee:

Mary Beth Walsh, Twin Bridges
Kathy Cheney, Belgrade
Blake Hauptman, Helena
Cade Duran, Bozeman
