enjoys the delicious elegant reception appetizer meal consisting of assorted
beef, chicken, and more. Following the 4-H mix and mingle sponsors and 4-H attendees
will be invited to a sit down dessert bar and entertained by some keynote
speakers for 25 minutes.
Each
year our Appreciation night reflects a different theme, the 2016 theme is
“Celebrating 40 years at the Alberta 4-H Centre” taking the time to reflect on
