EVENT INFO FOR MEMBERS |
|
Member Attendance: All members of clubs in the Western Region are expected to be in attendance at least for the afternoon activities (12pm-4pm), but we encourage everyone to come watch the livestock classes in the morning as well. We do realize that for some it will not be possible to attend due to scheduling conflicts, but they are still expected to get their projects and member portfolios to the event.
Non-Livestock Projects: ALL of the non-livestock projects for ALL members in the region are also expected to be at the event. We are suggesting that each club assign 1-2 volunteers or parents to collect all the projects for their club and then deliver them Friday evening before 7pm. But members can also deliver their own projects if that works better for their club, or they miss their club’s project drop off time. We need most of the projects to arrive the Friday evening, but can except a few stragglers Saturday morning 8am-10am. You will also need 1-2 people from your club to commit to collecting the projects at the end of the event for those members who are not able to attend.
EXHIBITION ITEMS: If members wish their exhibition items to go to Alberton Exhibition they can leave the exhibition item with Jackie that day. For those wishing their items to go to Crapaud Exhibition they will need to take those to the Charlottetown office on or before Wednesday, July 23, or directly to Crapaud Exhibition (in the 4-H Display Area) on Thursday, July 24 between 12:00am - 4:00pm.
Member Portfolios: ALL member portfolios for ALL members in the region must also be dropped off to the grounds Friday evening, or at the latest by 10am Saturday morning.
Livestock Projects: Some livestock projects are being completed at other private events. If this is the case for your livestock members please have these completions done before July 5 so that those members can receive their certificates for their project at this event. If that is not possible, please let Jackie know. Also those completing at private events will need to provide photos of themselves with their animals at those private events (cattle require ear tags visible in the photos) to be put in their member portfolio’s for Jackie to view at the Regional Achievement Day.
We are currently offering dairy, rabbit, canine, and equine classes at the Regional Achievement Day. If we have missed a livestock project that also wants to bring animals, please let Jackie know ASAP.
For clubs with members who are bringing animals PLEASE let Jackie know by June 1st approximately how many animals to expect for each livestock project in your club.
Leave no trace! Members are expected to provide their own bedding for all their animals, and to strip their stabling area before they leave. All used bedding and manure must go to the manure pile, and all waste into waste bins. We want to leave the barns and grounds in the same condition that we find them.
Guests: Everyone is invited to this event so we encourage you to bring family and friends!

EVENT INFO FOR PARENTS & LEADERS:
Volunteers: We are requiring at least 2 people from every club to sign up to volunteer. All of the responsibilities are very easy jobs as the livestock classes are very small, but if you have any questions about any of them do not hesitate to reach out to Jackie.
There is a Google sign-up sheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rJeFsjUrPKUASXZsGZDdCrbgiLZe79ww/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107469453642230739477&rtpof=true&sd=true
Of course more than 2 are VERY welcome to sign up as well (many hands make light work!). Please sign up by June 1.
Games: These take place on from 1pm-3pm. Each club is expected to plan and run one of the Farm Olympic Games. These are VERY simple games that are easy to run. There is a list of suggestions on the signup sheet to pick from, but you are very welcome to come up with your own idea as well. The club sign up and info for those games are in the same Google sheet as the volunteer sign up on the 2nd page. Please sign up for one of these by June 1. You will need to supply materials needed for the games, but save receipts for anything you buy to be reimbursed. You do not need to bring prizes for the game as the region will be providing all of those.
Food: All food and refreshments will be provided but can you let your club coordinator know if anyone in your family who is planning on attending is gluten free or vegetarian so that we can get a general idea of how many of those options we need to have prepared.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact Jackie - sooner rather than later.
