In December of 2017, Angelina Downing interviewed with the state 4-H office to represent Colorado at the national 4-H Conference in April of this year. Downing says, “I was a little bit nervous because I interviewed last year and was just out of the running by one person.” As the holidays went by and the new year moved in, Downing waited patiently for the call.
