Investing in Community and Tradition at the 2024 Bernalillo County 4-H Fair

On July 22, 2024, the New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque hosted the Bernalillo County 4-H County Fair. This year’s event was a celebration of community and tradition, made even more special by the generous support of Roybal-Mack & Cordova. With a deep commitment to giving back, this local law firm, together with Antonia’s brother, played a pivotal role by contributing $30,000 to the auction. Their investment ensured that today’s hardworking 4-H participants have the same opportunities they once did.

The story of Roybal-Mack & Cordova is one of coming full circle. Antonia Roybal-Mack and her brother were once 4-H kids themselves, intimately familiar with the dedication and effort it takes to raise animals and participate in the fair. For them, 4-H was more than just a youth program; it was a foundation that instilled responsibility, perseverance, and community values. As former 4-H participants, they have not forgotten their roots. Antonia’s success in the legal
field has provided her with the means to give back, and she does so with pride and purpose.

The $30,000 spent at this year’s fair wasn’t merely a financial contribution but a heartfelt investment in the next generation of 4-H kids, ensuring they have the resources and encouragement to continue the traditions that have shaped rural communities for generations. Roybal-Mack & Cordova’s involvement in the fair highlights a broader narrative: that true success means remembering where you come from and using that success to uplift others, particularly in the communities that shaped you. Their participation is a testament to the enduring bonds between people and their roots and a reminder that community and tradition are the real measures of success.

The 2024 Bernalillo County 4-H County Fair showcased Roybal-Mack and Cordova’s dedication to community, tradition, and giving back. With a commitment to supporting the next generation, they have shown that your positive impact on others best measures success. The generous contributions supported local 4-H kids and reinforced the core values of responsibility, hard work, and community. As former 4-H participants, they have come full circle, ensuring that the legacy of 4-H continues to thrive for years to come.
