Summer Synergy

    Well Folks, Its been a great run but after a month of voting we have a hoodie winner!
Tuck (A.K.A. Captain American) has won with 29 votes, Sarah and Coleman came in second with 13, Jamie-Rae and Kelly came in third with 12. I'll tell ya one that that handsome devil better enjoy his hoodie shipped all the way from Canada!

   On Wednesday we head to the Summer Synergy!
**Olds Agricultural Society and Calgary Stampede are committed to provide a collaborative venue to showcase youth in agriculture by combining traditional elements with innovative approaches for personal achievement and development. This will increase inter-breed interaction, avoid duplication, improve financial sustainability, engage the public and enhance the profile of rural lifestyle and primary production.
This new youth livestock program is known as Summer Synergy!**

 Of course we have to thank our sponsors, everyone knows without them showcases such as this wouldn't be possible!
So a huge thanks to Calgary Stampede Foundation, ConocoPhilips, Ted & Enid Jansen, UFA, Olds College, RBC Foundation, Future Ag (Kubota), Meyers Norris Penny, Mountain View County, Westway Farms & Olds Agricultural Society!
