When all of the Hard Work Pays Off

 The huge week finally arrived, and with that came many countless hours of hard work, great times, and beneficial opportunities! The Provincial Beef Heifer Show and Summer Synergy 2011 were definitely memories made to last. Although the week was very tiring, and testing of my agriculture knowledge, it was an incredible experience. I would like to personally thank all of the sponsors, volunteers, helpers, and everyone else that put countless hours into making the Calgary Stampede International Youth Livestock Summer Synergy Show a huge success.

This year I was honored to have been awarded numerous accomplishments within the show! It was an incredible show and I feel blessed to have been able to take part in, compete, and network within the Summer Synergy Show! 
Provincial 4-H Beef Heifer Show
I have attended the Provincial 4-H Beef Heifer Show for a total of 6 years, and each year brings just as many surprises and joys as the year before! This year we moved into the show on Saturday night, and competed against the other 4-H members until Tuesday night. Three full days of competition, and early mornings, left a bunch of tired, worn out, and gleaming 4-H members. Many competitions were available at PBHS including showmanship, team marketing, show team judging, conformation,the Your Hired competition, and individual judging. I was fortunate to have won both show team judging with my partner, team marketing, champion 2 year old commercial cow/calf pair, as well as placed third in the Your Hired Competition. These accomplishments placed me 3rd in overall Aggregate. 
Summer Synergy 
Summer Synergy took place from Wednesday morning till Friday evening. This year was an incredible experience, not only did I learn lots about the agriculture industry, I met new people, and was able to network with others that were involved within the industry. I was fortunate to win Supreme Champion commercial Charolais female, meaning that I qualified to compete in the supreme quest, as well as I won a scholarship from the Calgary Stampede board. My scholarship, along with the other senior recipients were given to us on the main stage during the chuck wagons on Saturday night at the Calgary Stampede. I also was given the opportunity to exhibit my champion cow calf pair at the Calgary Stampede for both Saturday and Sunday. 
Summer Synergy was an incredible achievement for me this year, and I am so honored that I was able to participate in it! I honestly encourage every other youth involved with agriculture to take in the amazing experience of the Summer Synergy show, you'll be glad you did!

  2. I feel so blessed and fulfilled. I've been reluctant in applying for a loan i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got a loan from Progresive Loan INC. & we both confirmed it and i also went ahead to apply, today am a proud owner of my company and making money for my family and a happy mom. Well i'm Annie Joe by name from Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. As a single mom with three kids it was hard to get a job that could take care of me and my kids and I had so much bills to pay and to make it worst I had bad credit so i couldn't obtain a loan from any bank. I had an ideal to start a business as an hair stylist but had no capital to start, Tried all type of banks but didn't work out until I was referred by my co-worker to a godsent lender advertising to give a loan at 2% interest rate. I sent them a mail using their official email address (progresiveloan@yahoo.com) and I got a reply immediately and my loan was approved, and I was directed to the Bank site where I withdrawed my loan directly to my account. To cut the story short am proud of my hair stylist company and promise to testify to the world how my life was transformed.. If you are in need of any kind of loan, i advise you contact Progresive Loan INC and be financially lifted Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565
