Hunter Reid of the Crown Hill 4-H Club earned top honours in the intermediate category of the provincial 4-H public speaking competition held in Melville April 7.
Hunter turned his Grade 7 essay on courage into his 4-H speech. Hunter is able to compete at the national level in Toronto this November as well as present his speech at the 2019 4-H annual general meeting.
It is an exciting opportunity for this young speaker.
Speakers representing the Northwest at the event were: Cloverbud - April Huber of Catherwood Sheep and Beef Club, Savannah Elliott of Edam Light Horse Club;
Juniors - Taylor Reid of Crown Hill Beef Club and Casey Ogilvie of Meadow Lake Beef Club;
Intermediates - Hunter Reid of Crown Hill Beef Club, Martine Bosse-Herds of Thunder Club;
Seniors - Emma Panter of Big River Club and Myles Wright of Vanscoy Club.
These competitors made it through the club, district and regional competitions in order to qualify for the provincial level.
There are 2,930 4-H members registered in Saskatchewan this year and only the top 32 (eight in each age group) qualified for provincials. They gathered for lunch and then to compete. It was a long day of competition followed by a banquet and an award ceremony.
All of the members should be very proud to reach and compete at this level, it take a lot of practice and confidence to compete at provincials.
