The Bruce County Holstein Club hosted the Western Ontario Holstein Car Tour, Friday. The tour took in 10 farms in the area around Teeswater, Mildmay and Kincardine.

It is start-up time for many of our agricultural 4-H clubs that are part and parcel of bringing those quality animals and people to attend and participate at many of the wonderful fairs in our area. These clubs need committed and dedicated volunteer leaders. 4-H is a great place to get the training! We want to encourage all parents to step out and volunteer to keep the program going for your current and future members. Check out the Bruce County 4-H website and Facebook page for information on becoming a 4-H leader.
