Chipman 4-H Horse Project Raffle Winners Announced
Horse Project Members ham it up for the camera Feb. 14. This saddle was the first place prize in the club’s raffle.
Hayden Childs Club Reporter The Chipman 4-H Beef and MultiClub (Horse Project) held the draw for their saddle raffle on April 26 and members were very grateful for all of the support they received. Our original plan was to go to the Mane Event in Red Deer, a huge equine trade show held every year at Westerner Park. We were going to stay the entire weekend to go to seminars and have pool parties at the hotel, but mostly to sell our raffle tickets. But plans got changed due to COVID-19 and the trade show was cancelled. We could have cancelled the raffle. We could have given up. But we didn’t. We moved along with selling tickets online, asking our friends, family, and horse groups to share our video and event online. We ended up selling 60 percent of our tickets. That was pretty good considering the last minute change of plans. The first-place prize, a Dale Chavez reining saddle provided by Tower Tack and Western Wear in Vegreville, was won by Merla Smith. “I never win anything. This is my first thing I’ve ever won,” Merla exclaimed. The second-place prize, a stock tank full of farm supplies from Peavy Mart in Vegreville, was won by Kim Stefiuk. And the third-place prize, a headstall and breast collar also from Tower Tack in Vegreville, was won by
Heather Sywanyk. All of the money made from the raffle is going towards paying for horse camps and clinics for the eight members in this project.
