T Bar
Invitational |
In an effort
to enhance youth in the livestock field,
we are pleased to announce an exciting
new event – “The T Bar Invitational” – a
marketing seminar and golf tournament
designed to raise awareness of young
people in agriculture, namely junior
purebred cattle breeders and their
associations.
The “Invitational” will be held June
24th and 25th in Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan. Participants will have the
opportunity to golf Dakota Dunes, rated
by Golf Digest as the number one new
golf course in Canada in 2005.
The event will feature a social and
Calcutta auction on the evening of June
24th, followed the next morning with a
breakfast marketing seminar, the “Texas
Scramble” golf tournament starting at
noon and a wind-up awards banquet at the
adjacent Dakota Dunes Casino that
evening.
All funds generated from this event will
be appropriated to the breeds which have
a recognized national junior program and
association. Percentage of funds
allocated will be based on membership
numbers, and in addition, a portion of
funds will be appropriated to the
Canadian 4-H Council.
Sponsorship and participation is key to
the success of this event, with the goal
being the generation of funds for
Canada’s Junior Livestock programs.
Sponsorship opportunities and
registration information can be obtained
from Dale Kelly (306) 220-5759, from
Bryan Kostiuk (306)934-9696, or from Ted
Serhienko (306) 933-4200.
Co-chairmen for the T Bar Invitational
are Dale Kelly of Saskatchewan Research
Council, and Bryan Kostiuk of Today’s
Publishing Ltd. |
