4-H'ers Visit State Capital

Article submitted by Amanda Ciurzynski, Wyoming County 4-H'er

 

On March 6th and 7th, 2006, a group of 4-Hers from Wyoming and Livingston counties went to Albany for the "4-H Capital Days" award trip.

L to R: Kelsey Minnich, York; Wesley Cox, Perry; Chris Ciufo, Livonia; Assemblyman Daniel Burling; Amanda Ciurzynski, Attica; and Stacia True, Perry (Livingston County 4-H Extension Educator).

Wesley Cox and Amanda Ciurzynski from Wyoming County, and Chris Ciufo and Kelsey Minnich from Livingston County, traveled to Albany to learn about the New York State Government. While they were there, they met many state legislators, including their own representatives Assemblyman Daniel Burling and Senator Dale Volker.

The 4-Hers visited the capitol building and they went on a tour to see the assembly room, senate building, and the Court of Appeals. They all had a great time, and learned plenty of new facts about our New York State government. This was a chance of a lifetime for these four 4-Hers.

Thank you to the Wyoming County 4-H Leader's Association for sponsoring this award trip!
