Last summer some members went on the 4-H trip to Prince Edward Island. They stayed for 10 days. During this time they toured the province seeing sights such as the Magnetic Hill, went bridge jumping, and spent a day at a water park. They also travelled from tip to tip of the island, ate fresh lobster, went to Cow's Ice Creamery, and saw the band Down With Webster perform.
With a new year comes a new executive. This year president is Rylea Eggeson along with junior president Megan Danychuk. Treasurer is Meckenzie Dekker and secretary is Kassidy Doepker. This year's phoning chairperson in Wyatt Murphy. Senior district representatives are Morgan Doepker and Jordi Skolrood along with junior district representative Savannah Carson.
