Holden 4-H Beef Club September Report Recycling project, upcoming weigh-in, and the start of the new year for Holden 4-H Beef Club Quinten Albrecht Reporter – Holden 4-H Beef Club
On Thursday, September 12th, the Holden 4-H Beef Club held its annual organizational meeting at the Holden Complex. The meeting was called to order at 7p.m. And started off with the pledge. We received a report from the
Treasurer, followed by discussing possible dates for our fundraiser this year which will be tire recycling, organized by the Roulston family! We also decided that our weigh in day will be October 20th at the
Albrecht farm at a time yet to be determined. Next we decided to give out prizes for the Best Kept Record Book and the Highest Scoring Diary at our next meeting. It was then discussed that the Beaver District
will allow each member individually to decide whether or not they wish to implant their steers. We also voted to hold the club elections at our next meeting October 3rd at 7p.m. At the Holden Complex. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. We will be kicking off our club’s 74th year of operation with 16 members so far.
PLC Celebrates the Farming Lifestyle Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
Farmers provide so much for society. So, Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre celebrated farming when they presented their September 13 Drop-In Program with the theme, Farm.
The activities offered were a chance to paint traitors which were premade out of Popsicle sticks, an egg scavenger hunt, a cowboy hat toss game, plenty of farmrelated equipment to play on, and a chance to draw on the blackboard.
