Have a fantastic weekend!
We are Assistant Leaders for a local beef 4H club. I love being able to give back to a program that has helped shape me so significantly. Today is Achievement Day, where the 15 members in our club will show their Steers and be judged for Quality (southern Alberta term for Conformation!). The kids will also compete for Showmanship awards.
The keen youth moved their livestock in last night and weighed in their Steers. We then had a tug-o-war contest 
splitting the kids into teams and then did a big challenge between the 5 clubs. It was a hoot – only wish I had my camera. However, I was in the middle of the excitement and on the microphone – maybe someone else captured…
I love witnessing 4H members grow and improve their skills. This year, I decided to give 3 special gifts to members in our club. I’ve admired these shining stars determination and couldn’t narrow it down to 1 person in my mind. I’m excited to surprise them individually ;)
John is also really excited because he is judging the Swine show this evening. He showed market hogs in FFA (youth agriculture program in the United States) and loves talking the reasons for swine.
I better run! I have the judges gifts, a few of the awards, and all the drinks and snacks – it’s hot out already. Hope you have an amazing weekend and the sun shines down on you.
Cheers,
Robyn
