It’s that time of year again. When the flood of young kids with white shirts, black slacks, and 4-H emblems invade Maddock. You guessed it! It is time for the Benson County Achievement Days!! This event kicks off with Livestock on Thursday, June 26 from 6-9pm. On Friday, we have the Horse Show starting at 9am and the 
Livestock Showmanship & Judging at 3:30pm.
Saturday is the big day. Static Judging goes from 8am-12pm, depending on if you are showing pets, poultry, and/or rabbits or not. The Pet Show followed by Poultry & Rabbit Show then Showmanship Classes is at 10:30am. Five o’clock is the release of all exhibits not in the Premium Sale and finally, the Premium Sales starts at 7:00pm. All of these events will be held in the Multi-purpose building in Maddock. There will be food in the 4-H stand on the west side of the building. They may move it, but I am not for sure.
So, if you aren’t busy and want to see what the youth of Benson County 4-H has been up to the past year, come up to Achievement Days and see for yourself. I promise you won’t be dissappointed.
Maddock will have a new business in town starting tomorrow. Heaven’s Photography, located in the Maddock Technology Center on Main Street of Maddock, is having its Grand Opening tomorrow from 10am-7pm. Christene and her family invite you to stop in, check out the place, and even setup a photo shoot for yourself, a friend, or your whole family. Heaven’s Photography is located right next to the Farmers Union Insurance in the Tech Center. Make sure to stop in!
