Sheep Club holds first meeting
By Evy Verschaeve
The inaugural potluck meeting for
the South Huron 4-H Sheep Club's
2018 season was held at 6 p.m. on
May 6. Members of all ages had met
with their families at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) office in
Clinton. They mingled and
conversed amongst themselves and
filled out questionnaires and club
forms as they waited for the food to
be served.
Soon, the turkey had been carved
and Don Pullen had led the group in
grace, signaling for the members to
head to the front and serve
themselves, followed by parents and
adults. After dinner, a thank you card
for Doug and Les Coleman was
passed around and signed by the
members as a token of thanks for the
donation of the turkey.
By now, the meeting had been
officially started with the 4-H
pledge. We went around the room
and introduced ourselves, before
discovering that there was a friend of
4-H amongst us, Doug Kennedy.
Doug often helps out the club before
shows by shearing our lambs. He
told a few stories about his trip to
New Zealand and his experience at a
sheep shearing competition.
A few more informational papers
later and the club was ready for the
highlight of the night, election time.
Eventually, the board of directors for
the 2018 club had been set; with
Grace Hallahan as president, Evy
Verschaeve as vice president,
Amanda Bos as the secretary, and
Rachel Bos with Evy Verschaeve
both taking on the press reporter
position. As usual, Deb Falconer and
Florence Pullen will be the
treasurers for the year. As well, Evan
Krebs is the club's youth leader for
the year.
Next, the club leaders gave us
some important dates, including
the judging competition, Go for
the Gold competition, and our
shows in which we will
be competing in with our sheep.
Afterwards, the members
suggested topics that they would like
to learn about in the upcoming year.
Some suggestions we received
included touring Green's Meat
Market in Wingham, visiting Cat
Laxton and her sheep dogs, and
going to the Holstein Rodeo to
watch the sheep -shearing
competition.
With many ideas, members could
not wait for their next meeting. The
tentative date for the second meeting
of the South Huron Sheep Club is
May 27. The members will be
visiting Parsons' sheep farm and
touring their operation.
