The Lone Butte 4-H Club had its achievement day at the Lone Butte Hall on July 17.
Achievement day is an event that members must attend to be eligible for awards at the year-end banquet and so they can also attend the Show and Sale in Williams Lake in August.
There were three cloverbuds, three junior members and six senior members who participated in the busy day. The projects being shown this year included gardening, swine, sheep, rabbit, dog, horse and photography.
We all had fun showing our projects. We enjoyed a beautiful day, and when all the showing was finished, we had an amazing potluck lunch provided by the parents.
We would like to thank our judges who volunteered their time to judge the members and their projects. Lyne Gingras was our gardening judge; Cathy Bowen judged horse; and Mandy McLelland judged photography for us. We also had some past 4-H members as judges this year, including swine judge Amber Bowen, sheep judge Robin Diether, rabbit judge Kelly Diether and dog judge Kelsey Hayes.
