Lethbridge Northern 4-H Beef Club

It was a really exciting week for the Lethbridge Northern 4-H Beef Club as we hosted the awards banquet on Tuesday, December 6. Our dinner started at 6 p.m. and we had tasty roast beef on a bun with gravy made by Karen Dunsbergen. Our awesome club members’ families also made a bunch of salads and desserts, including fruit and vegetable trays.

After dinner, we had a program where we thanked our trophy sponsors, donors, parents, and leaders for helping us all in our club. Then, we gave checks to the people we raised money for at our show and sale last June. Representatives from the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen and the Therapeutic Riding Association were there to accept the checks and tell us about their organizations. We raised a total of $83,650 and split it between them, giving $41,825 to each.

Next, we gave out awards and trophies. Mrs. Rose Slingerland returned our record books, and we were excited to see our marks and note her suggestions. The rest of the evening was spent playing bingo to win prizes, which was a lot of fun. We’re looking forward to the rest of our 4-H year, working hard with our steers and getting them halter-broke. There’s a lot of work ahead, and we’re excited about it.
