Local women receive $500 4-H scholarships
Despite having to postpone the 2020 Prince Albert Regional 4-H Beef Show and Sale, the organizing committee was still able to move forward with the sale of the charity steer and awarded two scholarships this year.
Makenna Bloom, a senior member of the Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club, was the recipient of the Dwayne Fremont Trucking Award of Merit. The 18-year old from the Holbein area, will attend SAIT in Calgary this fall, after being accepted into the diagnostic medical sonography program (ultrasound technician).
“Being in high school last year I never received any scholarships because I wasn’t expecting to go into college right away so having that money and getting me that step forward is going to help me a lot,” she said.
Bloom was with the 4-H program for three years, but told paNOW she gained a lot of valuable leadership skills, and will miss working with the youth.
