In addition to regular training for Archery, Canine and Horse projects, the Millarville Mutts and Mustangs 4-H club also had a fun filled December with lots of activities! The horse group even found time to have a Christmas Ride with games and skills.
The Christmas Party was a roller skating party held at Millarville School. It was well attended. There were lots of snacks and a gift exchange also took place. It was great fun! December 10-12 was pick up time for the Holiday Fundraiser where we sold Poinsettias, Wreaths, and indoor/ outdoor arrangements. A total of $1,170 dollars was raised. All funds go toward renting the indoor arena and quonset at Millarville Racetrack for training. That weekend, some of our members also volunteered to ring KettleBells for the Salvation army in Okotoks.
We had our monthly meeting on December 12 and talked about the following year and about what was going to happen to the projects. Each meeting, a certain portion of our record books have to be completed so we don’t get behind.
Dec 16 and 17 was District Hamper packing. On Friday night, senior members wrapped gifts. On Saturday, 11 hampers with meat, veggies, cleaning supplies, gifts for the children and other food were organised, packed, and delivered to families who need a helping hand during the holidays. It felt good to volunteer for this event. To end the winter holidays, a few of our members participated in the Winter Bonanza camp located in Chestermere.
