Crestomere 4-H Club
May 23 was a big day for the Crestomere 4-H Multi-Club. Many months of hard work and lots of effort paid off when everyone was able to show off what they had accomplished on achievements day.
Achievements Day took place at the Crestomere school, where every group had a project board that was used to sum up their 4-H year and what they had learned using pictures and more. The cooking, sowing, and woodworking group had their projects at their table for everyone to see.
The people who took woodworking made many different things out of wood; such as a chair, little catapults, signs, and much more.Those in sowing displayed pillows and pillow cases amongst many other things. The cooking table set out homemade pizza and cookies for everyone to try.
After the project boards had been judged the sheep show began. Everyone did an excellent job at leading their sheep around the ring and the whole thing turned out very well. All of the halter training, washing, brushing, and feeding, resulted in excellent looking, well behaved sheep. Jojo Wildcat placed number 1 in championships, followed by Emma Rust.
The small engine group all brought their lawn tractors for everyone to see and drove them around. I think all the family and friends that came to achievements were very impressed with everyone's work.
This 4-H year is now coming to a close, and time has flown by. Many memories were made along the way. The club did many fun things together, whether it was charity work like doing the Santa's Anonymous, highway cleanup, playing bingo with the residents at the Rimbey Care Centre, or simply having fun doing our projects together, and our leaders are the ones to thank for making this all happen! I think that if next year is half as good as this year, it will be a success.
