The Vegreville 4-H Beef Club has been busy since November 2019. A few members attended the overnight Fall Fling in Bonnyville on November 22nd and 23rd where much fun was had with the sleepover, crafts, dodge ball, and even karaoke! We have had two monthly meetings since our last report; these were held on December 1, 2019, and then on January 5, 2020. For our latest community service event members played bingo with the seniors at the Homestead Senior Citizens Lodge on December 21 and 28. This was a chance to have a little fun, talk to the seniors and have them teach our young members how
to play the fine game of bingo. For even more fun, the members had a Christmas party on January 3, 2020. Members were very grateful the Mundare Ag. Society allowed the use of the arena in Mundare and do some skating. The members had a gift exchange and a pizza party. A few members took in the Oil Kings game on January 5, 2020 and appreciative of the opportunity. Lastly, our club would like to acknowledge everyone who purchased tickets for our steer raffle at Walmart on December 21, 2019. The draw date is not until May 2020 so there’s still lots of time to get a ticket. Stay warm everyone!
