January 20, 2007 ~ This meeting was held at Tammy & Krysta's house. We started off this meeting by judging some photos sent up to us from the Salmon Arm Model Horse 4-H Club. There were a number of different classes and various photos from the Salmon Arm members. It was interesting to see how people do photos and how they are all so different.
The rest of the meeting we spent cutting out our backboards which will be used for our performance class setups.

November 11, 2006 ~ For this meeting we had Elisha Jackson who is a broadcast news student at SAIT. She has been covering agriculture stories and she was wondering if I could interview someone from our club. She wanted to know the types of activities we do and other things that make our organization unique. So she came and joined in for our project meeting. She did brief interviews which will air in SAIT radio. To take a peek at the movie clips, check out the movie section of the site.
