The Country Corners Multiple 4-H club has had an interesting year.
The club had 16 members, with projects being light horse, archery, beef, small engine and welding.
Club activities wrapped up with an achievement day and the regional show. This is where members demonstrated or exhibited project work. We also had competitions with our projects.
Club members travelled Saskatoon for the 4-H annual general meeting and to Ottawa for a week to attend the annual 4-H citizenship seminar. Members took in a beef tour to see all the other 4-H calves, attended the Prairieland youth leadership conference and competed in the Nelson judging competition in Lloydminster. Light horse members attended the second annual Saskatoon horse expo.
Country Corners 4-Hers hit the slopes at Table Mountain for the northwest regional ski day, competed in provincial curling and competed in club district and regional speeches. A Christmas party with sledding and games was enjoyed. Small Engines rebuilt a dirt bike and Archery members held shoot at Battlefords Bait and Tackle. Light Horse members attended various riding clinics and Beef held a grooming day where the 4-H calves are clipped. The welding project members built a sign stand.
All members participated in a fundraising bottle driver.
These were some of the fun things our members did as a multiple club.
Our members were asked what their favourite thing was this year and this is what they said.
