Free to enter, the Ag-Stravaganza is open to 2021 4-H beef and dairy club members aged 14-21 from across Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Newfoundland. This marks the first time we're able to bring together five provinces for one event!!! There are a plethora of prizes up for grabs, and all participants will receive a super swag box delivered to their door! The four components of the competition are: 1) TikTok-style video entries 2) a recorded speech submission 3) judging of dairy and beef classes 4) completion of a written quiz.

REMINDER for the ACE program enrollment. ANY NEW Purebred Angus Producers should consider ACE as registering things like membership, herd name, tattoo letters and some of the start up costs are covered within the program! So the per head fee may be less than paying for those things piece-meal.
