Club president Elisha Coleman called the meeting to order and secretary Katie Hern asked the roll question: What have you named your 4-H project? Although some members are still deciding most have chosen their calves' names. Reviewing basics After reviewing notes and upcom- ing events the members headed out to the barn. Using Katie and Cody Hern's 4-H projects, senior members partnered up with junior members to teach the basics of brushing and grooming the calf as well as the very important quick release knot. The quick release knot is always used when tying calves. If the calf happens to get itself into trou- ble you are able to untie the knot quickly to prevent the calf from strangling itself. Once again thank -you to the Hern family for hosting this meeting and providing snacks afterwards. The next meeting is on June 5 at 7 p.m. at McCully's Hill Farms. g bean SECURITIES LTL; MakeYour Investments Count Stocks, Bonds, Income Trusts, Mutual Funds & RRSP Products Gary Bean Securities Ltd. 588 Main Street South Exeter, Ontario NOM I S I 519-235-4099 1-800-710-5216 Member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund and Investment Dealers Association of Canada HURON — Don't be left behind when racers in this year's Huron United Way fundraising Amazing Race head out across the county in fierce competi- tion of brain and brawn. With the Friday entry deadline loom- ing, teams are scrambling to raise the $500 entry fee that will put them among 30 teams at the starting line at 7 a.m. on June 24. "Our first race last fall was a lot of fun for com- petitors. This time we've raised the bar by drawing on the skills of a very creative committee that includes some of last year's racers. They've invented a race course that will force competitors to dig deep," says Huron United Way executive director Kim Payne. "It will be a challenge to their team- work abilities, to their deter- mination, and to their physi- cal stamina. At the same time, they'll have the best day in memory." Racers will compete rain or shine for the $1,500 top prize and a raft of other prizes in the competition, which mimics CBS's popular "Amazing Race." All money raised from the event will support the Huron United Way. Last year, racers cleaned horse stalls, bagged saw- dust, milked cows, sang karaoke and completed nearly 30 tasks in the day -long event. Along the way, strag- glers were eliminated from the race, until the moth- er -daughter team of Julie and Erin Gibbings crossed the finish line in Bayfield to capture the top prize. Racers then swapped sto- ries over a free lunch. While details of this year's race are top secret, orga- nizers are will- ing to say the event will take racers to all corners of the county. And with 840,960 acres of land stretching from the lakeshore inland, that will be a lot of ground to cover. "Teams are going to have a blast, and it will all be for the benefit of Huron. United Way," said Payne. "So grab a part- ner, complete the very first challenge, which is to raise the $500 entry fee by the deadline. Look for a sin- gle sponsor, make your own donation or gather pledges from friends, but make sure you do it by May 26."
