Members of the Assiniboine Beef and Multi 4-H Club were acknowledged in their first awards ceremony which was held at the Rockford Hall on August 14.
Leaders Billiejoe Townsend and Dani Volpatti kicked off the program by welcoming all members, family and guests to the fun-filled evening. They presented awards and trophies to members.
"The awards night was held at Rockford on August 14 with great success," said Townsend. "The members had a pre-awards meeting with a potluck meal followed by coffee and cake for the public during and after the presentation of the awards. We also had a family dance and wagon rides provided by Ray Rosenkerr. It all went smoothly and was a great way to end our busy year."
In the following weeks the club will be having the 2017 registration so if one is interested in joining the thriving club, he or she may contact the leaders Billiejoe Townsend, Fallyn Oxley or Dani Volpatti.
"The club has a page on Facebook as well so join us to keep up with the club events and registration dates,” Townsend said. “We will be serving in the kitchen at the October trade show at the Preeceville Legion Hall on October 8 too, so we hope to see you there where you can show your support of our young club."
