The Arcola-Kisbey 4H Beef Club held its annual Achievement Day at the Arcola Fair Grounds on July 1.
They had 12 members this year, consisting of Hannah Lees, Jackson Lees, Andrew Charlton, Jade Charlton, Becca Lees, Bode Pretty, Kirsten East, Kyla Lees, Matthew Charlton, Emma Lees, Kylee Dixon and Christin Dixon.
Thank you to our judge for the day Darren Ippolito and Ringman Garth Newell, to Duncan Lees for being the announcer, to all of our sponsors for the day, to the fair committee for having the grounds ready for us and looking so nice, Michael’s food truck for serving us lunch and snacks and a last minute sewer trouble was handled efficiently by Graham Carter with Monster Enterprises.
Thank you to our general leader Jeff Lees and our assistant leaders Corey Lees, Brody Slykhuis and Dave East for a great year.
