GLEN EWEN — The Glen Ewen Mixed 4-H Club celebrated their Achievement Day in conjunction with the Carnduff Homecoming on Saturday, July 5.
The members decorated their float the night before and brought their sheep along to ride with them during the parade. At noon, they served free ice cream cones to children through the Souris Flats Ranch food truck. Additionally, the members completed their 4-H exams.
They then walked their lambs to Sunset Haven, where they paraded the sheep for the residents to enjoy. Afterwards, they had lunch from Subway.
For this year's Achievement Day, the club decided to try something different. Instead of individual sheep classes and having a judge, they held a showmanship and judging demonstration led by Pamela Bartlett, the project leader. Members invited friends and family to participate and taught them how to show sheep, providing feedback on their showing abilities. The day concluded with the members' favourite event—the Costume Class—where both the members and their sheep dressed up in creative outfits.
After the event, members and McKenzie Lovell were presented with Glen Ewen Mixed hoodies and lawn chairs as gifts. Myrna Babbings was recognized for her 30 years of service as a 4-H leader, and Pamela Bartlett was honoured for her 20 years as a leader.
