Young speakers from across the South Interlake region took centre stage at the area’s 4-H communications competition, hosted by the Teulon 4-H Club on March 23.
Thirty members from six clubs — Teulon, Argyle, Balmoral, Minerva, East Selkirk and the Selkirk Silver Spurs — competed in speech and visual presentation categories, showcasing creativity, poise and public speaking skills in front of nine judges and about 80 spectators.
