Introduction
Each year, 4-H Ontario members and volunteers
take their skills, hard work, and dedication to
Toronto, for the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. A
showcase for livestock, field crops, home skills and
life skills alike, the Royal provides an ideal venue
for 4-H members to shine on a national stage.
Those first weeks of November at the Royal represent the culmination of a lot of hard work, not to mention many hours spent learning to do by doing.
We are pleased to provide this summary of 4-H
results from the 2014 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Congratulations to all who showed, competed, and
attended this year’s 92nd iteration of the Royal.

GO FOR THE GOLD PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP
KLH CLAIMS GO FOR THE GOLD SUPREMACY
All
All across the province 4-H’ers have been competing
amongst their Associations and regions all year for a
chance to represent their region at the Provincial Go
For The Gold (GFTG) Competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.
The Go For The Gold competition is a great experience for 4-H members to increase their knowledge of
4-H project materials, agriculture, food, community,
events and much more, all while doing so in a team
atmosphere. There are 4-H Association level and 4-H
Regional level competitions hosted by local 4-H volunteers.
This year’s championship took place on Saturday,
November 8 during The Royal and was highlighted by
a dominating showing from the team from Kawartha
Lakes-Haliburton of Region 3 who claimed the title.
The team of first-time competitors went 5-0 in round
robin play and amassed a total of 990 points. After this
impressive showing, they entered the final against the
team from Halton and Region 4 in a rematch of the
first round robin game. KLH was able to come out on
top once again though with a 185-120 win.
“I was stressed about mid-terms at university and
everything so it was kinda like a crash thing,” said KLH
team member Cassandra Gorrill, when asked how
the team prepared for the competition. “But Sadie and
Maggie are super intense on drilling and that’s basically how I prepared for today. You just kind of learn as
much as you can in a short period of time. It’s intense.”
“The second we won Regionals is when we started
preparing for this,” said Trevor Kennedy. “I think another thing that went into the preparation for today was
reciting lots of acronyms and symptoms of diseases
and things like that, which came into play today.”

“I think one of the hardest parts was just staring down
the other team and just having to face them, especially
when you know people on the other team,” added
Kennedy.
Getting involved with GFTG was a way for the team’s
whole county to come together.
“It’s a county thing, so our whole county is involved,”
said Maggie-Jo Hickson. “Some clubs count it as a
meeting and everyone in our county has such a great
time at that night, we just want to continue on with it.”
The team was quick to thank many people for their
contributions leading up to and throughout the competition including their parents, friends and supporters
and everyone who was involved at the county, regional
and provincial levels. They also thanked their coaches
Diane Armstrong and Craig Kennedy.
Despite the undefeated record, the team from KLH
admitted there were many challenges throughout the
day.
“They’ve put a lot of hard work into it and they should
really be proud of themselves,” said Armstrong. “They
knew a lot of answers to questions that I had no idea
on. They did a great job and the day was excellent.”
“The hardest part was definitely not second guessing
yourself,” said Sadie-Jane Hickson. “Knowing that you
know the answer and you know your team knows the
answer, but sometimes you’re just not quick enough
on the buzzer.”
Other teams that competed in this year’s provincial
competition included: Temiskaming – Region 1, Russell – Region 2, Huron – Region 5 and Elgin – Region
6.
GFTG is sponsored provincially by Ontario MutualsTM.
