On Friday, June 17th, the Millarville Stockland 4-H Beef Club ended a great year with their Awards Banquet at the Millarville Race Track Hall. We started our night with a delicious roast beef dinner prepared by all the parents and members. Thanks to Cargill for supplying the excellent Alberta Beef! We started the awards presentations right after dinner. Thank you to all our trophy sponsors. We also had a silent auction running throughout the night. Some of the awards that were given out, that we didn't know the recipients until that night, were: Junior Record Book - Hunter Egeland (that's me), Intermediate Record Book - Shaelynn Brogden, Senior Record Book - Ben Arkes. Our big "surprise" awards were at the end of the night. These were the Best Effort award that went to Connor Brogden, the Sportsmanship Award given to Carlie Meyer, the J. Barraclough Efficiency Award to Ben Arkes and finally the Best Buddy Award won by Carlie Meyer. Congratulations to all the members for doing such a great job. A special appreciation plaque was given to the Arkes family for all their hard work and time they put towards our club this year.
That ends another very successful year for our club. All the steers have been sold and the heifers (including my Gillian) are out to pasture. Thanks to our leaders, parents and families for making it such a great year. See you in October for our re-organizational meeting. If you want information over the summer about joining our fun club, please call Susan Jeffery at 403-931-3132 or e-mail:  swatkins@platinum.ca
