The 5th Annual “Why 4-H is Great” Contest
ATB branches and 4-H members, clubs, and districts across
Alberta partnered together for the fifth annual year to compete for an
opportunity to host a 4-H District community concert headlining Gord Bamford, renowned
Canadian country music star.
Some outstanding audio visual contest submissions were
received this year. The winner of the 2014 “Why 4-H is Great” community concert
is Drumheller 4-H District. Second place finalist was the Ponoka 4-H District. This
year entries were required to highlight “Why 4-H is Great” or “Why 4-H loves
Alberta”.
Drumheller 4-H District’s fabulous grand prize will be to
host the 2014 Gord Bamford community concert on Friday, November 21 at the
Badlands Community Facility in Drumheller, Alberta.
The concert will serve as a
fundraiser for their local 4-H District, with 15% of the concert proceeds being
contributed to the 4-H Alberta Legacy Fund. All members of the Drumheller 4-H
District will also receive a private Gord Bamford mentoring session on the day
of the concert.
1500 tickets are available for purchase for $25.00 each through a Drumheller 4-H District Member or at the following local ATB
Financial branches and agencies: Linden; Drumheller; Hanna; Strathmore; Three Hills; Trochu; Carbon; Morrin; Rockyford; Standard; Delia; Irricana; Big Valley.
In addition to this valuable fundraiser, the “Why 4-H is
Great” contest also proudly showcases some of the outstanding local 4-H musical
talent each year. This year’s winner of the
Musician’s contest is The Cats and the Fiddles.
Thank you to ATB Financial and Gord Bamford for continuing
to make this contest a success and a highlight of the 4-H Alberta program. Over
the past five years, in excess of $68,000 has been raised for 4-H Alberta through this contest!
