The 4-H Public Speaking season has come to an end where the final event happened this past Saturday, April 26th! 2025 Provincial 4-H Public Speaking was hosted by District #22/23 4-H Council and took place at the Sutherland Hall in Saskatoon. 36 of the best 4-H speakers in the province, along with their families, came together to celebrate these amazing members and their communication skills. All attendees should be proud of their hard work and dedication that resulted in competing at this level. Once the competition was completed, an awards banquet commenced where the following winners were announced: Cloverbud
Thank you to the judges who gave their time to make the difficult judging decisions. To the volunteers who worked hard beforehand and during the event to make it a success — thank you so much for your dedication to the 4-H program. Thank you to the event sponsors: 4-H Saskatchewan and Provincial Partners, J-Frame Construction Ltd., UFA, Masterfeeds, FCC, and Sheady Farms . We hope all participants got the most out of the day and enjoyed sharing their speeches with the provincial audience. Congratulations to all the winners and we hope to see you all again next year!  The 2025 Provincial 4-H Curling Competition was held in Yorkton Saskatchewan February 14 – 16, 2025 at Yorkton’s state-of-the-art Gallagher Centre. This exciting event was hosted by the East 4-H Region’s own Springside 4-H Beef Club, with General Leader Mandie Foster as committee chairperson. Thank you Mandie and Springside! The weekend’s festivities began on Friday night, where eight Junior and eight Senior teams converged for the first draw of the weekend. Junior 4-H curlers are aged 6 to 13 years of age, with Senior team members aged 14 to 21. Teams represented the province’s three newly formed 4-H regions: the North Region, West Region and East Region. This year’s host had an extra important task of determining a brand-new draw for three regional groups (as opposed to our previous four regions). The draw would need to offer teams many games without timely waiting periods, but also prevent teams from leaving the event early after unsuccessful games. Chairperson Mandie came through! Using a ‘Pool’ system for the draws, each team was in a four-team pool, thus guaranteeing them three games each on Friday and Saturday. Because there were the same number of teams in each age group, all teams were able to play at the exact same time, adding to the excitement amongst audience members in the rink. The top two teams from each pool advanced to the finals, and teams were chosen based on win/loss record, as well as a team ‘Draw to the Button’ distance after each game. An official Opening Ceremonies was held on Saturday, with East Member Ambassador Dinah Buhler serving as MC. Bagpiper Ferne Katzberg led the procession, joined by a member of the RCMP, the City of Yorkton Mayor Aaron Kienle, Committee Member Leonard Foster, Regional 4-H Manager Melodi Hawkesford-Lee, 4-H Hall of Fame inductee Marlene Tymiak, East Leader Delegate Board Member Susan Avramenko, East Leader Ambassador Paula Beattie, and of course, Harold the 4-H Hare! Next came the Parade of Champions that included the following curling teams: West Region Junior Teams:
Sunday’s games consisted of a more ‘familiar’ draw for 4-Hers – a short double knockout, 1-winner draw. After a day of hard curling, the Provincial 4-H Curling results were as follows: Junior Final Placings:

Officials for the weekend included Kristina Just, Barb Woytas, Alia O’Neill, Vicky Breitkreuz, Jennifer Kriger and Mandie Foster. A huge thank you goes out to the Springside 4-H Beef Club for hosting this event – in particular, committee members Jennifer Kriger, Leonard Foster, and especially Chairperson Mandie Foster. Platinum Level Sponsors ($2,000 +) for this event included 4-H Saskatchewan, and the Kinsmen Club of Yorkton who covered all rink rental fees! Gold Level Sponsors ($301 to $500) included Werner Farms (Kalvin & Maureen Werner of Springside), Springside Recreation Association, Yorkton Curling Club, Whitesand Wildlife Club, Parks Jewellery, T & H Trucking Ltd., and Legacy Co-op for sponsoring all snacks. Silver Level Sponsors ($200 to $300) included Yorkton Lions Club, Hiduk Ventures Inc. from Jedburgh, Yorkton Exhibition Association, Blue Collar Bull Sale, Pheasantdale Cattle Company, MazerGroup of Yorkton, Cornerstone Credit Union Bronze Level Sponsors (up to $199) included Legacy Speckle Park & Angus, Yorkton Branch of Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists, and Richardson Pioneer Canora.
