Successful Achievement Day for Holden 4-H Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Holden 4-H Beef Club held a highly successful Achievement Day on Friday, May 30 at the Bruce Stampede Grounds to wrap up their club’s 2024-2025 year. A good crowd turned out to watch the different classes shown by the 4-H members, who enjoyed a day of warm weather and sunshine for their achievement day. Club President Jayden Chomik welcomed everyone before the 4-H Pledge was given. And Taylor Chomik performed as Master of Ceremonies for the entire day’s show, which involved grooming of animals, discussion of stock and visiting with friends and nieghbours. The participants and spectators were able to hear explanations from judge Evan Patriquin, who spoke on conformation, showmanship and judging aspects of the 4-H members and their entries. Arnold Hanson helped out as judging card marker, and ring men for the day were Carter Chomik and Joe Roulston. After the judging, the ribbons were presented by Caroline Leitch. Everyone enjoyed a luncheon at mid-day before the main events of heifer and steer classes were held in the afternoon. And this year’s theme was to dress in the “Retro” style of the 1970s which many members had fun adopting for the day. After completing the judging, the sale was held at 5 p.m. followed by supper to conclude the day’s activities. Here are the results from the Holden 4-H Beef Club Achievement Day from May 30.
