#TBT - ✳️Highlighting Pre-Clubbers! Now called Youth Open projects, are offered in many divisions at the #85thPWF to get our youth's foot in the door at the fair and gradually teach them about raising a project as the foundation for the #4H program! #LetsStirrupSomeFamily Fun

#TBT DID YOU KNOW❓ That the old Kamloops Exhibition Association Show Barn was on Lorne Street near the Pavillion Theatre? Cattle back in the day were brought in by the "Rail" - in rail cars vs cattle liners or stock trailers today, so location was key to be next to the Railway!

#TBT Celebrating the Boundary 4-H Clubs involvement over the years at the Kamloops Provincial Winter Fair....Remember when they had to do multiple heats for Group of 5 Steers when all 15 CLUBS entered back at the 32nd PWF! Wishing all 4-H Exhibitors a fun & successful weekend!!🍀

#TBT to the #FacesoftheFair at the #50thPWF in 1988 ⌛ It's Still True Today in exhibitors' attachments and bonding with their projects. They snuggle with them in the stall, & talk to them like a friend, but lessons and skills learned make every #4H Achievement year memorable.
