2011 has come and gone. Now, we are gearing up for 2012. Elgin County Junior
Farmers have been busy with community events around the county such as an oil
and battery drive with Elgin Federation of Agriculture, Belmont corn maze bake
sale selling hotdogs and delicious treats, and Relay for Life in June for the Canadian
Cancer Society. We have also done fun activities such as bowling, Can-Am: All
Breeds Equine Emporium, canning apples and going to the beach.
Lisa and Heather at the blood donor clinic.
Elgin County Junior Farmers are not just about spending time in our own county, but visiting other counties either through the Ontario Young Farmer’s Forum, Winter Games, March Conference, Leadership Camp, and other provincial and local events in Ontario.
