Top 4H showmen win awards
at Seaforth Achievement Day
Seaforth Fair hosts the County 4-
H show. Top showmen are selected
from five areas of livestock and
they go on to the Showmanship
Sweepstakes Class.
Each commodity has its own
showmanship criteria so when you
move from showing a pig to show
ing a horse, you need to be aware
of all the different techniques. It's
quite a challenge! Each of the five
top showmen had to show the other
four commodities. This group of
kids were great. They could help
one another with tips and laugh
with one another about their mis
takes.
Taking the top showmanship
award for: Swine, Richard Sinclair,
RR 2, Clinton; Beef, Vanessa
Alton, RR 7, Lucknow; Dairy,
Jamie Hallahan, RR 3, Blyth;
Sheep, Jenean Todd, RR 2, Luc
know; Horse, Rhonda Smith, Brod-
hagen.
When these five showed the
other animals for the Showmanship
Sweepstakes, the Champion was
Vanessa Alton. Reserve Champion
was Jamie Hallahan.

terrific job with their projects. They
certainly put the motto into practise
“Learn to Do by Doing”.
