For the fourth generation farmer who resides in the Rural Municipality of Churchbridge that has meant growing flowers she sells at area events. My husband and I purchased our farm on Pennock Road in 2011, explained Becquet. Together with our four kids we ve worked to add to this farm, truly our dream home, and make it our own. In late 2018, I decided to take what had been a lifelong hobby and make it my full time gig, and Pennock Road Petals was born. I had always grown flowers for myself, and I had been creating wedding florals for friends and family for years, but the process of combining growing and designing was such an extremely rewarding experience.
Without money coming in, planning for 2021 events difficult, so Friday the YEA launched a unique fundraiser to help get some cashflow heading into 2021. “Not being able to hold our normal annual events has had a significant impact on our organization,” said Brett Callin, YEA Director at a press conference held at the Gallagher Centre. “We are reaching out to the community for some help in a different but much needed way.”a The way Callin was referring too was for area farmers to donate grain to the YEA in support of what the organization does. “The idea of a Grain Drive was considered and here is what we are looking for,” said Callin; “We are asking for those who want to support our cause to offer donations of grain to the Yorkton Exhibition. We as directors will arrange for the pick-up trucking and selling of the grain.”
