By Carla Allen THE VANGUARD NovaNewsNow.com Eight members from three Yarmouth County 4-H clubs are polishing their skills in hopes of returning with ribbons from the 4-H weekend on May 4 and 5 at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro.

Topics :: Yarmouth County , Maple Leaf

The youths, from the Prince Charles, Maple Leaf and Riverside clubs, met last Sunday to practice for the woodsman contest.

The three components of the division involve splitting and shaving wood for a fire in order to boil a can of water, crosscutting blocks of wood from a beam, and a back tank race.

Erin Corkum will be participating in the public-speaking competitions.

Two hundred and fifty will take part in the activities, many of which will be watched by the public. More information is available online at http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsaf/4h/
