Camrose 4-H Beef Club 70 years strong

By Lori Larsen

On June 27 the Camrose 4-H Beef Club celebrated 70 years of having positive influence and providing wonderful learning opportunities to youth and young adults in the area.

Members and guests gathered at the Round Hill Hall on June 27 to listen to and share stories of the Club’s programs, events and achievements.

“Over the 70 years members have participated in public speaking, highway clean-up, beef projects and district shows and sales, not to mention years of enjoying the togetherness of friends and family, all while working and learning together,” noted Club member Chella Ross.

The celebration was also an opportunity for members to thank the community and sponsors for their continual support.

With a goal to provide programs for both urban and rural youth and adults that develop life-long skills such as co-operation, leadership, interpersonal relations, critical thinking, decision making, organization, public speaking and community service, 4-H Clubs across the province have been going strong since 1917.
