Canad Inns in Portage la Prairie's the site of a Communications Extravaganza for the 4-H Club and it happens Saturday morning. Gainsborough Combined 4-H leader Sandra Duchak says it's a public speaking competition.

"The members of the 4-H Club compete at their own level, and then they go to the area level. The top two winners of each category goe on to the provincial, and these are our top provincial winners."

She explains topics are chosen at the competitors' discretion, and many are fantastic speakers.

Duchak notes the advantages of having the participants compete include the value that public speaking has in life. Duchak explains it helps you with job interviews or simply attending various events where you are the speaker.

The schedule today is start time at 9:30 a.m. at Canad Inns and everyone is welcome.  Duchak adds you can hone your own public speaking skills by observing the tips and advice the judges give to the participants.
