4-H Public Speaking a Success in Ryley

Josh Ruzicka Beaver County 4-H Multi Club

The Beaver County 4-H Multi Club held its third annual public speaking event in the Ryley Hall. The event was sponsored by Altalink and UFA.

Emily Chetney and Josh Ruzicka were voted as MCs for the event. “And if I do say so myself, the jokes were quite humorous. The snacks and lunch were delicious and the facility was perfect for our needs,” remarked Ruzicka.

In Junior speeches first place went to George MacKenzie for his speech “NBA” while second place went to Ashton Zemlak with “Farm vs Town.”

In Junior presentations first place went to Aiden Kittle with “Dirt Biking Facts” and second was awarded to Douglas Winsnes for his “Reining Cow Horse.”

In Intermediate speeches Jerica Chetney took the lone prize with “The Effects of Electronics on Children”.

In Intermediate presentations first place was awarded to Nolan & Cameron Dixson for an action packed “Eat My Dust” and second was given to Cameron Schmaus and his “My Top 3 Favourite Cattle Breeds”.

The first-place Senior speech was “The Bystander Effect” by Kari Janzen, while second place was awarded to Denise Schmaus with “Uncertainties of Life.”

Maddy Ruzicka won first place in Senior demonstrations for her “Duck & Goat Cheese Pastry” and the second prize went to Austin Bonham with “Welding”.

The first and second place from each category (Junior, Intermediate and Senior) moved on to districts on March 1st in Bruce. Of that group, Maddy Ruzicka and Nolan & Cameron Dixson will be going to Regionals at the Portage College in St. Paul on March 21.
