Viking 4-H Beef Club celebrates 80 years Club announces 80th year will be its last Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Viking 4-H Beef Club marked its 80th year with a birthday cake at the district show and sale this year. But after a remarkable year for the club taking high honours in many categories, the club is folding. This was the final year for a club that ran strong for eight decades in the community but, due to dwindling membership numbers, must now dissolve. “For our club, it was a very successful Beaver District Show,” said Viking 4-H leader Karen Brooke. “Our members achieved the honoured project show placings of Grand Champion Market Steer, Champion and Reserve Champion
Heifer, Champion and Reserve Cow-Calf Pair, and Supreme and Reserve Supreme Female.” However, it was not enough to keep the club going into the future. “I will add that it was a bitter sweet celebration as we also announced that this will be the final year of the Viking 4-H Beef Club,” she said. “Due to declining membership, we are no longer able to fulfill the minimum membership or leader requirements,” Brooke explained. The marking of 80 years as a club during the Beaver District Show and Sale included a display of memorabilia and a presentation to honour the anniversary of the club’s existence. Continued on Page 2
