During its recent 2026 Pennsylvania 4-H State Leadership Conference, a Mill Hall native was named to its State Council Team.

Adelaide Miller, a first-year student at Pennsylvania College of Technology, was among eight 4-Hers from around the state to be named to the council.

According to a news release, more than 300 Pennsylvania 4-H youth gathered to network and enhance their leadership skills during the conference held Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center in State College.

The event featured leadership-oriented workshops and recognizing Pennsylvania 4-H state-level award winners, Penn State Extension 4-H administrators along with unveiling the state council team.

The council is a premier group of young people, selected from across the state, who serve as the official youth spokespeople for the Pennsylvania 4-H program.

Miller is a first-year student at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. She has participated in Barnyard Buddies, poultry, rabbits, baking and leadership projects.

Miller plans to finish her associate of applied science degree in baking and pastry arts and open her own farm-to-table bakery. She is the daughter of Chad and Dominique Miller, of Mill Hall.
