Ag month 

Agriculture Month is a time to celebrate agriculture and share our stories about food and farming. It is proclaimed annually in Saskatchewan, providing the perfect opportunity to connect for those who grow food, and those who love to eat it. Each October, the agriculture industry works together to tell their chapters of the food story through campaigns, events and programming.

Through the celebrations, we hope to help people better understand how Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers raise their livestock and grow their crops, while engaging in authentic conversations with people from around the province. There is an exciting challenge for all 4-H’ers in the province!

Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club Province-wide mailmatch archery competition

Indoor Mailmatch is a Provincial Competition shot in the luxury of your own range!

Due to the distance between archery members in our province it can be difficult to attend a Province-Wide Archery Competition, but the desire to see where you stand against other 4-H’ers is still there.

Register for the Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club Province-Wide Mailmatch Competition!

This allows for a province-wide competition without having to travel further than your local club. Each month an archer can submit one score and the average of the four scores shot throughout the designated time period will be used to determine your placing. 

Regional Record Book Competition

Don’t forget to send your book in for the Regional Record Book Competitions! 
Clubs are invited to submit two members’ record books from each age category to their regional competition and only one book from each member may be submitted. Books must be from the previous 4-H year and all competitors must have been a registered member in the 2020/21 4-H year. 

Books can be dropped off or mailed to your Regional 4-H Specialist. Please indicate if your book should be mailed back to you or if you will pick it up when submitting it. Deadline to submit record books is December 1, 2021. Late entries may not be accepted. 

​Any questions about the competition can be directed to your Regional 4-H Specialist!
