On April 30, the Beaver County 4-H Multi Club got together at the Holden Complex to work on their various projects. The cooking group was instructed by Jill Janzen, a baker from Lougheed, in making cream horns, Danish apple bars, and brownies!

Yum! They also provided lunch for the 4-H members and families.

The members in the small engines project invited a professional lawnmower racer, Blain Austin, to assist them in working on their project lawnmowers. Afterwards, the members had race to test how the lawnmowers ran.

The club will be in the Holden Farmer’s Day parade, alongside the lawnmowers! After the parade, the club will be found in the curling arena with their year-end presentations and projects. Feel free to come out and ask us about what we learned and did this year!

The club started off the month of April with a grooming and showmanship clinic that took place at Axten’s farm. Afterwards we had our monthly meeting which we planned and discussed this year’s achievement day.

On April 8, club members got together and decorated eggs just in time for Easter. On April 9, Allyson Huculak attended spring fling where they played games, built trophies, had a scavenger hunt, and a short dance to end the day. On April 14 the club sold raffle tickets at Vegreville Co-op.

Back on March 26, Karly Weleschuk, (junior member) attended regional public speaking that was held in St. Paul. She presented the judges with “Ooey Gooey Slime” and came in third. Fantastic job to Karly!!

We will be having a mock achievement day at the end of this month to better prepare the new and younger members for our achievement day show and sale that will be on May 30. We are all looking forward to having an in person show and sale this year! We have 12 market steers, 4 heifers and 4 cleaver calves.
