Making the move to the Arcola-Kisbey 4-H Club was a good one for Matthew Charlton.
Charlton, his brother Andrew and his sister Jade shifted to the club from its Weyburn counterpart at the start of the 2020-21 season. He has a lot of family members who are part of the Arcola-Kisbey Club.
It feels like a family reunion every time they have a meeting.
“I enjoy teaching all the younger kids, because that’s how I learned, and you have to learn somehow,” said Charlton.
The 4-H motto is “Learn to do by doing,” and it continues to resonate with Charlton and so many other 4-H members.
Charlton joined 4-H because his parents were 4-H embers, and he enjoys showing cattle at the annual 4-H show and sales. He still enjoys 小蓝视频 part of the sale, so he continues to be part of the club.
He has always had a shsteer in the sales, and he has always done well in the sales, with people he knows willing to purchase an animal.
Thanks to 4-H, he has been able to meet a lot of people. His family has done well in public speaking competitions in 4-H, and it’s helped when making presentations in school. They have participated in grooming at Agribition.
“I’ve certainly learned a lot through 4-H,” he said.
