The regular monthly meeting of the Southern Pride 4-H club was held June 7 at the property of Kevin and Adaria Woodward who most graciously offered the use of their barn to the club as well. Carrie Anderson, Club Leader, began the meeting with announcements and an important lesson on ethics which is required for all 4H members. The remainder of the meeting was then run "workshop" style with members divided into groups according to the types of animals they show and work with. The groups rotated to the various stations to benefit members who work with more than one type of animal. Members learned fitting and showmanship skills at the various stations. A big thanks to the teen leaders, volunteers & parents who led the various groups. These included Wes Planthaver and Ellen Long, Megan Notestine - rabbits, Taylor and Tammy Maslanik-horses, Macy and Mandy Fisher -pigs, Wayne and Carrie Anderson -sheep, Kalee Anderson – goats, Katie Anderson and Shannon Fegan- Dairy Beef. After members were done at the various stations Tammy, Mandy and Macy Fisher had a Stockmans contest for club members to view various pieces of livestock equipment. Top three winners of the contest were Kalee, Mikara and Katie Anderson. Refreshments were enjoyed by all and provided by The Gaff, Fisher and Anderson families. The next club outing will be July 5th, pool party at Three Springs and July 12th Orbisonia Fire Hall, regular club meeting.
