HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2013-11-07, Page 28The Wawanosh Golden Girls
representing Huron County won the
Provincial Go for the Gold
Championship held at the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair on Nov. 2.
The winning team consisted of Kate
Higgins, Melissa Higgins, Reba
Jefferson, Jolande Oudshoorn and
Jeanette Schramm, with Mary Ellen
Foran and Marita Oudshoorn as
coaches.
For 32 years, Go for the Gold has
been an integral part of many 4-H
projects across the province. In
order for teams to participate at the
provincial level, they must have
competed and won at their local
county level and at their regional
level. The competition presents the
ultimate challenge to members by
testing their skills and knowledge of
4-H, agriculture, food, nutrition and
current events.
At the Royal Winter Fair, the
Huron County team (Region 5)
competed against all 4-H Regions,
whose teams were from the counties
of Sudbury, Carleton, Prince
Edward, Halton and Oxford. Each
game was about 30 minutes in length
and was formatted with short
answer, assigned multiple choice,
who/what am I, team discussion and
snapper (true/false) questions.
After the round-robin tournament
of five games, the two teams with
the highest accumulated points from
the total of all games played
advanced to the championship game.
The Wawanosh Golden Girls were
leading in points and therefore
qualified them for the Championship
game against the Halton County
team (Region 4) which was in
second place. It was a very close
game, but the Wawanosh team
pulled ahead at the end of the game,
and won by a score of 165-155.
The Wawanosh Golden Girls
would like to thank the Ontario
Mutual Insurance Association for
sponsoring the event and the Royal
Winter Fair for supporting the event.
It was a wonderful experience for all
the 4-H members participating. An
additional thank you goes to all the
volunteers who acted as judges and
scorekeepers, and to the
organizational committee.Coming out on top
The Wawanosh 4-H Golden Girls were thrilled with their most recent Go For The Gold

County in the final by a score of 165-155 to claim the provincial title. Celebrating are, from left:
