Continued from page 6 is a win-win outcome. “From supporting program development at 4-H Canada, to events and initiatives with the provincial associations right down to club activities, FCC is proud to support 4-H at all levels,” said Todd Klink, FCC Vice-President, Partners and Channels during the announcement. “We’re very excited to be solidifying our strong partnership with 4-H until 2018, and doing our part in creating future leaders who are positively impacting communities across Canada.” “We are grateful for the support that our partner FCC has contributed to the 4-H movement in Canada for the past quarter century,” said 4-H Canada CEO, Shannon Benner. “As our most generous corporate partner, we have truly built something special and long-lasting for 4-H clubs across Canada. The positive outcomes and tangible benefits can be seen across the country.” Many clubs choose to put their Club Fund package towards Achievement Days, where members show off their accomplishments to their family and community. “It’s a chance to evaluate how much you as a show person and how much your animal have improved over the year,” says Kendra Elliott, who will be showing a market steer, a heifer and a continuation heifer at the Pipestone 4-H Beef Club Achievement Days in Manitoba July 4 - 7, 2015. “It’s fantastic to know that FCC supports us. These events bring a lot of meaning, a sense of accomplishment and memories to the life of every 4-Her.” For more information on the FCC 4-H Club Fund, visit: www.4-h- canada.ca/fcc4hclubfund Lanterns banned FCC commits funds to support 4-H Canada Judges and a family At last week’s Huron County Ploughing Match, the judges of the Queen of the Furrow competition played a big part in the event, and were thanked appropriately for their contribution, both of time and expertise. Above, from left: Judges Joe Steffler, Debbie Gamie and Doreen Taylor were thanked by outgoing Queen Ursina Studhalter. Taylor was the county’s first-ever Queen of the Furrow. She didn’t receive a sash as part of her win back then, so that wrong was righted last week. Also at the match, the Grobbink family, below, was honoured as this year’s Farm Family Award winners.

Deputy-Reeve James Campbell asked if the lanterns could be bought in Blyth and Sparling said they can. Campbell then asked if that could be controlled and Sparling didn’t give a definitive answer. “We have restrictions in terms of fireworks, but if you drive to the edge of the municipality you can use them restriction-free,” he said. “This is similar.”
