What a year! The Goodeve 4H Beef Club wrapped things up with their Achievement Day in the sun, on July 3rd. The Judge for the day was Lee Stillborn from Balcarres. The Olynyk family and Crescent Creek Angus hosted the event and the spectators were able to enjoy the day under the cool shade of the farm's large old trees and a cool breeze.

The day's show started at 10:00 a.m. and continued until noon, when the members, spectators and guests were treated to a sandwich potluck, which included a delicious pork roast courtesy of Kim Olynyk as well as watermelon, ice cream and a large variety of squares, cookies and cakes.

After lunch, the show carried on until 2:00 p.m. when the yearly awards were handed out to deserving club members.

It was a challenging year. With some new members "learning the ropes" and some of our most seasoned "veterans" in university, but still wanting the 4H experience, it was an exciting time for all.
