Britespan 4-H Invitational
Show
The 12th Annual Britespan 4-H Invitational
Dairy Show held in Lucknow on August 4,
2014, was a very successful show with 150
calves from 14 counties in Ontario from as far
south as Kent and Essex.
The judge for the show was Bobby Jarrell
from Corbyville, east of Toronto. The ring -
man was Murray Reissner from Woodstock
who does ring work at the Royal Winter Fair
and many other shows.
The committee who make up the show
deserve a lot of credit for a job well done,
having sawdust in the ring, 2 tents in which
to tie up the calves and water and hydro
available.
A big thank you to ring announcer, our fly-
ing farmer, Glen McNeil who just flew back
from Markham Show down east and to Perry
VanOsch for the photos taken. Also to Kristie
Gilchrist and Steve Van Osch for lining up the
calves in the correct order to come into the
ring, not one was out of order. At the end of
the show all counties were asked to bring in 3
calves and line them up facing the wall with
the top 5 counties picked up and lined up in
the centre. The group of 3 Jersey calves taking
1st place. All calves wre well washed, halter
broken and clipped.
A wonderful eight hour show to watch. A
big thank you to everybody who helped put
the show together. Hope to see you all back
next year.
Thank you,
Glen Walden

Review

The Lucknow & District
Lions Club has finished
with another successful
year. Our biggest project
for the year was the spear-
heading of the Lucknow
Splashpad. With the co-
operation of other groups
in the village this project
was completed for the
enjoyment of the younger
generation. Our next pro-
ject is to make improve-
ments to the skateboard
park. We are currently
working on this and trying
to raise funds.
This was a year for
working with other
groups. We assisted the
Lucknow Agricultural
Society with their food
booth and gates at the fall
fair. We then helped out at
the Mitchell International
Plowing Match. Our job
there was moving heavy
wooden steps out for get-
ting on and off the people
mover wagons. It was a
very long day. We aided
the Kinsmen with the
Music in the Fields by
parking vehicles at the
Community Centre and
arena. In September, we
assisted at the Hazardous
Waste Depot sponsored by
Bruce County. Canadian
Blood Services were
helped by the Club volun-
teers when they collected
114 pints in August.
Another clinic was held in
November. This year was
the first time the Agricul-
tural Society and Lions
held a joint lasagna dinner
and silent auction. This
was a great success with
talk of having another one
next year. We participated
with the Village for Earth
Day and did our roadside
clean up from Lucknow to
Holyrood.
Fund raisers this year
were our annual Sweet-
heart Draw. Winner, Joyce
Elphick came out in a bliz-
zard to do her Shopping
Spree. We continuously
collect aluminum. This is
a big project for the club
in which we need the help
of the community to recy-
cle and reuse this com-
modity. We only bar -
tended for three events.
Other events sponsored
this year were the Lions
Novice Tournament, Free
Skating and Project Pride
(each child in Grade 1 gets
a flag and certificate). We
raised $1,848 for Walk for
Guide Dogs. This is the
program that provides
autistic, handicapped,
diabetic, hearing impaired
and blind persons with a
trained dog for life, free of
charge.
We gave donations to
Little Mudder, Big Broth-
ers and Big Sisters. Both
local hospitals (Wingham
& District and Alexander
Marine) received dona-
tions during the Radio-
thon. Camp Kirk, Silver -
stick Tournament, Youth
Exchange, Peace Poster
Contest, Effective Speak-
ing and the North Huron
Food Share, all received
donations. We donated
the cost of a new mattress
to Participation Lodge. We
awarded the Mel Corrin
Memorial Scholarship to
Destinee Shepherd. This
year Lions International
Convention was held in
Toronto. We made a dona-
tion towards this event as
our club could not assist
in any part to help organ-
ize it.
Around the Village, we
replaced the sign at the
Memorial Park and
repaired the garden. We
placed a wreath to honour
past veterans and
attended the Remem-
brance Day banquet to
hear former Luc know
area resident Fred Black
talk about his life in the
service. We presented the
Rae Watson award to the
Formosa Lions Club. This
award recognizes the club
with the most new mem-
bers. We had three new
members join us this year,
Keith Kerfoot, Lisa
Gillespie and Dave Haas-
noot. We lost a long time
member, Allan Gibson. He
was recognized at the
Annual Convention in
their memorial service.
Three members were rec-
ognized for their years of
service: Jack Cameron and
Ambrose Redmond for 20
years and Bob Lyons for 35
years of service.
We had a lucky year in
that we received a gift
from the estate of Ruth
Ledley Thompson of
which we are most grate-
ful. We also won second
prize in the Fall Fair and
Santa Parades. All these
funds go toward commu-
nity projects.
Lions is not all work. We
have time for fellowship,
too. This year we enjoyed
the Legion/Lions golf and
dinner day. The Legion
was hosting. We had a
club visit with the Auburn
Lions. We attended the
usual Zone and Cabinet
Meetings and held our
annual Steak BBQ at the
home of Wayne and Kathy
Todd. All in all it was a
good time.
Come join us if you
want to have some fun,
contribute to the commu-
nity and share your skills
and experiences. We cer-
tainly will welcome you to
the club.
