The 20th annual Cattle Baron’s Ball hosted by the Boundary C 4-H Club packed the Rock Creek Fairgrounds Pavilion last Saturday night. Funds raised will help the 4-H members to participate in the Rock Creek and provincial winter fairs this fall. But 2014 is the 100th anniversary of 4-H in B.C. and there are plans afoot to celebrate the centenary. 4-H is more than just the fall fair, though. For example the Boundary District 4-H Rally Day is held each May. This year, to help celebrate 100 years of 4-H in the province, Rally Day will be a two-day affair and invitation cards for a social, dinner and dance on May 3 were given out throughout the evening to supporters and 4-H alumni (former members, leaders or parents). The Cattle Baron’s Ball featured a dinner and dance (Sonny Boys provided live music) with many donated items offered at both a silent auction and a live auction. It is clear that the community supports the work done by 4-H. Over $13,200 was raised in the live auction alone. Kevin Rothwell, General Manager for 4-H BC, conducted the auction for the second year in a row. Up for sale were several items donated by local citizens and businesses. Local artists donated numerous pieces for the auctions. John Lindquist once again went above and beyond, • See CATTLE BARON’S BALL page 9

This year’s event happens on Easter Saturday, April 19 at 5 p.m. at the Rock Creek fairgrounds pavilion. Children are welcome. While the dinner is free of charge, it is expected that those who can afford it make a donation. Those who are for some reason not able to pay for it—it’s ok, that is what the dinner is all about. “This is our eighth Easter dinner and the
