On Feb. 21, we competed among each other and gave a speech on a topic of our choice. Some of the topics that were selected were about boys, favourite camping spot, family farm, Legos and cellphone use.
The top two placings in each age group have the opportunity to compete at the District competition in Midale.
Our winners were: Cloverbuds: Brody Walter, first; and Keaton Walter, second.
Junior: Mason Mack, first; and Lindsay Mack, second.
Intermediate: Ashley Tedord, first; and Nigel Mack, second.
Senior: Lorie Tedford, first; and Rachel Mack, second.
We also send a big thank you to Lakyn Hilstrom and Brenda Lyons for judging our speeches.

Spring is in the air and our club has a few fundraisers coming up. The first is the District barbecue at Peavey Mart on April 9.
