Editor's note: This is a monthly spotlight on a 4-H member sponsored by Nelson Motors and Equipment. We thank Nelson Motors and Equipment for their support, and applaud the local 4-H clubs for the work they do in the community. 

 

Name: Matthew Charlton 

Club: Arcola-Kisbey 4-H Club 

Years in 4-H: 11 

Age group: Senior 

 

Making the move to the Arcola-Kisbey 4-H Club was a good one for Matthew Charlton.  

Charlton, his brother Andrew and his sister Jade shifted to the club from its Weyburn counterpart at the start of the 2020-21 season. He has a lot of family members who are part of the Arcola-Kisbey Club. 

It feels like a family reunion every time they have a meeting.  

“I enjoy teaching all the younger kids, because that’s how I learned, and you have to learn somehow,” said Charlton. 

The 4-H motto is “Learn to do by doing,” and it continues to resonate with Charlton and so many other 4-H members.  

Charlton joined 4-H because his parents were 4-H embers, and he enjoys showing cattle at the annual 4-H show and sales. He still enjoys being part of the sale, so he continues to be part of the club. 

He has always had a shsteer in the sales, and he has always done well in the sales, with people he knows willing to purchase an animal.  

Thanks to 4-H, he has been able to meet a lot of people. His family has done well in public speaking competitions in 4-H, and it’s helped when making presentations in school. They have participated in grooming at Agribition. 

“I’ve certainly learned a lot through 4-H,” he said.
