4-H on Parade makes way for expanding life skills
Calgary – Those who are unfamiliar with 4-H on Parade may be momentarily disappointed to find out that there will be no marching bands to listen to, decorated floats to watch, or candy to catch. But witnessing 4-H on Parade for oneself quickly turns those feelings of disappointment into nothing but a distant memory.
4-H on Parade boasts of its record as the largest gathering of 4-H members in Canada. This year it lived up to that expectation by drawing approximately 600 members, 700 head of livestock, and 1100 projects to the Calgary Stampede Grounds for May 27th- 29th. Of this feat, the Calgary Regional 4-H Specialist, Rob Smith proclaimed 4-H on Parade as “a project congress where such a high degree of quality is a clear indication of passion”.
The continuing popularity of 4-H on Parade is attributable to the unique opportunities for clubs and members in the Calgary Region to widely showcase and compete with their projects. Through her smile Megan McLeod, member of Jumping Pound 4-H Club, said that “4-H on Parade was so much fun! The competition was great and I was happy to see my 4-H friends”.
Each day at 4-H on Parade was completely jam-packed with displays, demonstrations, competitions, shows and sales - all taking place simultaneously throughout the grounds. Members, leaders and parents alike were constantly on the go.
Friday brought with it the Beef Female show that in proud partnership with the Bashaw Show Committee presents members with the opportunity to compete beyond the 4-H level. Dairy and Sheep Trimming competitions were also taking place throughout the day. The Multi Species Judging competition was held in the evening with approximately 200 participants. Each participant was
2011 Calgary Region 4-H On Parade Results exercising their critical thinking and analysis, communication, and decision making skills while giving reasons for an equestrian riding helmet in addition to a variety of livestock.
Encana got everyone’s Saturday morning started out right by sponsoring a free pancake breakfast. A center of activity on Saturday was the life skills section. The growth of the life skills display at 4-H on Parade over the past few years continues to “impress and inspire,” says Smith, with an outstanding 400% increase in life skill entrants since last year alone. Determined to reinvigorate the life skills section of 4-H on Parade a few years ago, volunteer Wayne Shuttleworth says that witnessing such excitement and pride around beef and horse related projects led him to question why life skills couldn’t do so on the same level. A small committee set to work with the intention of creating a proper visual presentation gallery, along with a full-blown competition and sale. With their goals having come to fruition, Shuttleworth observes that “broadening the project experience for life skills members at 4-H on Parade was a perfect way to enact the 4-H motto, particularly for the presentation and marketing aspects of their projects”. This year, the life skills section included artistically displayed projects such as photography and welding for judging, a silent auction, a starting point for a 4-H on Parade style GPS scavenger hunt and a stage which gave the canine and goat projects some great exposure!
Also taking place on Saturday was the Beef Female team grooming and marketing competitions, an archery demonstration in addition to a variety of livestock shows. Despite the Neurotropic Equine Herpes Virus -1 (nEHV-1) scare leading up to 4-H on Parade, over two thirds of the horse entrants still attended and were quite happy to be there competing in a variety of English, Western and Heavy horse categories. Wrapping up Saturday was the first annual interclub Tug-of-War and a presentation to Rob Smith honoring him for his dedication to the Calgary Region during his time as 4-H Specialist.
With another 4-H on Parade drawing to a close, the remainder of the events were held- including the crowd pleasing Heavy Horse and Sport Dogs shows. Sunday is also sale day at 4-H on Parade with the steers, sheep and life skills up for grabs. This year a life skills project, in addition to a steer and lamb produced and donated by individual clubs, were auctioned off with the proceeds given to charity. The Bow Valley Beef Club raised the charity steer for the Alberta’s Children’s Hospital which was purchased by Encana. Raised by Irricana Beef 2011 Calgary Region 4-H On Parade Results and Multi Club was the charity lamb for STARS which was purchased by Balzac Meats. Taken by JoJo Goetjen of Cremona 4-H Club was a photograph which was sold to Lance Weston with proceeds going to Inn From the Cold.
This year’s 4-H on Parade was deemed a “tremendous success” by Smith. Returning to the event as a spectator, Shuttleworth observed that “within the supportive environment of 4-H, members are trying new things, learning from their mistakes and reaping the rewards of their successes”. Confirming the merits of this spectacular event, 4-H member McLeod said that readying her project for 4-H on Parade taught her to “work hard and push further to get the results you desire”.
4-H on Parade is sponsored by Canterra, Encana, Agro, CCS and the Calgary 4-H Region.
