If you have a new buyer for the Livestock sale, call the office so they get a Fair pass.

Must have 3 buyers per species.

All papers will be turned in at either weigh-in or when animals are unloaded.

Fair gates will open at 2 p.m.; except livestock gate will be open all day.

Badge pictures must be done by Sunday at 10 p.m.

Sculpture competition will be offered at the fair.

NO HORNS on animals.

Two pigs may be sold this year.

There are new horse people in the group; will try to work together.

Round-up will be held one week earlier and there will not be a supper.  It will be an ice-cream social with door prizes.  Cloverbuds will be recognized but not eligible for sweepstakes.

If showing pigs, goats, sheep:  call Ruth with designation.  Animals cannot be added after designation, so consider designating 3 to be safe - even if you might only take one or two.  Animals must be designated by 4/1 and tagged by 4/15.

Reminder:  must attend half of the meetings to show animals.

Enrollment must be done on eData this year.  No paper enrollment.

If you enroll in a project on eData and then decide not to do it, call the extension office to let them know that you are not doing it.  If you don't, you will not be competition eligible for that project next year.

Any housekeeping money not claimed will be given to the Cloverbuds for project supplies.  2011 might be the last year for housekeeping money.  Extension office funding is down more than 35% this year.

Spring Kick-off will be held at Trout Pond Park.  Date to be announced.  Bring a snack to share.
