30th Anniversary 2009 EBI 4-H Showcase was Remarkable!
The 30th Anniversary of the EBI (Eastern Breeders Inc.) 4-H Showcase, held in Spencerville, ON, was by all accounts, “Remarkable”, states Paul Stewart, Supervisor of Genetic Programs and Communications and the EBI 4-H Showcase organizer. The three-day event, held July 3th-5th at the Spencerville Fairgrounds, saw close to 125 4-H aged dairy participants from across Eastern Ontario compete and put the 4-H motto “Learn to Do by Doing” to work. This year’s event was held in conjunction with Holstein Ontario’s 1st Annual Eastern Ontario Junior Show.
