4-H Comes to Town

4-H members will gather in Bridgewater to participate in the 32nd annual Nova Scotia 4-H Show next month. The event will be held at the South Shore Exhibition Grounds from Oct. 2-4. The 2009 event is being hosted by the Lunenburg County 4-H Leader's Council. The 4-H show includes technical presentations and projects, as well as competitions. Agriculture Minister John MacDonell says the 4-H program helps young people learn skills that will help them become confident, responsible citizens and future leaders in communities. Nova Scotia has the largest 4-H Show in Canada. There are 2,400 members, 850 leaders and 85 clubs in the province. The free event is open to the public.
