Justin Yasieniuk, an intermediate member of the Crown Hill 4-H Club, headed to Tisdale along with seven other speakers to represent the North West Region at the 4-H provincial speech competition April 23.
The members made it through the club, district and regional competitions in order to qualify for the provincial level. There are around 3,000 4-H members registered in Saskatchewan and only the top 32 (eight in each age group) qualified for provincials.
They gathered for the afternoon to compete. It was a long day of completion followed by a banquet and then award ceremony. The only member of the North West region to place in the top three was a junior, Marleigh Mann from Northminster 4-H Beef Club, placing third.
Justin did not place in the top three, however just to make it to that level is a huge accomplishment that he should be proud of!
