Hi. My name is Laurel White and this is my pig Speckles. I am with the Chimney Valley 4-H Club. This is my fourth year in 4-H. We hope to see a lot of people come to the annual show and sale at the B.C. Livestock’s Williams Lake Stockyards located on Cattle Drive. You can’t miss it — it will be the place with hundreds of trailers packed in the parking lot. There will be lots of noise coming from the barn. Swine day is Tuesday— it gets a bit rough for pigs but is fun to watch. On display will be gardening, rabbits, beef, swine, small engines, poultry, dogs, and horses. Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. is the Parade of Champions, followed by the auction sale of all the market animals. If you have ever won-
Hello. My name is Marcus Kennedy. This is my first year in 4-H. I am a junior member. I have had a great year so far. I placed second in junior speeches with my speech on Wayne Gretzky. I also did well in the June judging rally. My project this year is a market hog named Bently. He weighed 110 pounds on June 21. I hope to do well this year at the show and sale and in future years to come.
dered about coming or bringing your children to see the animals, stop by anytime between Aug. 18 and 22 and see what is happening. I will be hanging out in
the barn and will be happy to show you around, if I am not on stall duty. It is a wonderful experience right in our own hometown — hope to see you there!

Parker Kennedy Parker Kennedy Chimney Valley 4-H Club Hello. My name is Parker Kennedy and I’m from the Chimney Valley 4-H Club. I’m 14 years old and this is my second year in 4-H. This year I’m raising a market hog and I’m having lots of fun. My pig’s name is Brittney and she is a Landrace. I got Brittney from Wally Hengstler. I also got my pig from him last year, and it was runner-up swine. During this 4-H year, I have participated in speeches and in a judging rally. This year I did a speech on AC/DC because they are one of my favourite bands. My hobbies are moun-
tain biking, dirt biking, skiing, and hockey.
I hope to see you at this year’s show and sale.
