Thank You to Calgary Region Clubs and Wheatland 4-H District!

On October 30, 2013 the Wheatland District, with help from the Calgary Region, led 4-H Alberta in celebrating great alignments with the 3rd Annual Corporate Partnerships Appreciation Evening at the Strathmore Civic Centre.

 

This year's event was focused on the theme "Growing on 96 Years" where clubs were able to take our Corporate Partners on a journey of where 4-H has been and where 4-H in Alberta is "Growing".  Corporate Sponsors also were shown "a year in the life of..." various 4-H projects through showcases that focused on some of the great agriculture related initiatives and other unique projects that have helped to shape a great 96 years in Alberta. 

 

Thank you to the Airdrie Beef and Sheep 4-H Club, Arrow Wood River Wranglers, Bow Valley Bandits 4-H Light Horse Club, Central Beiseker 4-H Club, Cheadle 4-H Club, Crowfoot Multi 4-H Club, Jumping Pound 4-H Beef, Midnight Express 4-H Horse Club, Strathmore 4-H Multi Club and the Swalwell 4-H Beef Club for showing their projects in this year's showcase.
