After a break during the summer, the Drumheller and District 4-H Clubs, and clubs across the province, are getting ready fore another year.
This year is especially significant. 2013 will be the 100th anniversary for 4-H Canada.
“Everybody is warming up for the new year,” said Janice Hoover, leader of the Delia 4-H Club. “It’s 4-H’s 100th birthday next year, so it will be an exciting year.”
The Drumheller District 4-H is divided into four clubs, each with their own specialty. The Delia, Hesketh Orkney, and Rumsey 4-H Clubs are beef clubs. One of the projects for beef club members is to raise a cow which is auctioned off at the end of the year. The Morrin Multi 4-H Club does a wide array of artistic activities, such as photography.
“4-H is for youth between 9 and 21 years old, who like to learn new skills, have fun, and meet new people,” said Hoover.
