π History was made this week! π
What started as an idea around a table turned into Saskatchewan's first sanctioned 4-H Poultry Show, and we couldn't be happier with how the day unfolded.
Twenty-one 4-H members from the Missouri Coteau Multi, Longlaketon Multiple, and Brokenshell Multiple 4-H Clubs brought more than 50 birds to the Weyburn Ag Society's 4-H Days for the inaugural Coop to Crown Poultry Show on Tuesday June 30th.
There were prizes handed out, champions crowned, and some beautiful birds on display, but the best part wasn't the results.
It was watching members confidently answer showmanship questions, helping each other get birds ready, asking our judge questions, learning new grooming techniques during the chicken bathing demo, and seeing younger siblings happily creating crafts while cheering everyone on. That's what made the day special.
Congratulations to every single exhibitor who stepped into the ring. Raising and preparing poultry takes months of commitment, and it showed. We'd also like to recognize all of our class winners and congratulate Hunter Wagner on being named Champion of Show with his Black Copper Maran pullet, and Gavin Benko, whose Silkie earned Reserve Champion of Show.
A huge thank you goes to Raymond Dunlop for sharing his knowledge throughout the day, to the Weyburn Agricultural Societyfor welcoming us as part of 4-H Days, to our generous sponsors, our volunteers, and all of the families who helped make the day run so smoothly.
Most importantly, thank you to the kids. You embraced something brand new, supported one another, and helped make Saskatchewan 4-H history.
We hope this is just the beginning. See you all at the 2nd Annual Coop to Crown Poultry Show next year! ππ
