Good Luck to those going to State Fair!

We have several animal science youth going to state fair this year! In Dairy Cattle, Cyrus Conard, Jacob Pamkowski, and Joseph Pamkowski are taking cattle. The Dairy Judging Team will be competing (I am not sure who will be on the team yet). In Dairy Goats, Stephanie Peck and Carolyn Peck will be taking goats. The Hippology Team (Horse Knowledge) of Alex Briggs, Abigail Andrews, DeeDee DeRosa, and Arhianna Fleres will be representing us at the State Contest. Elise Smalley was invited to go and participate in a Horse Bowl Event at State Fair as well. Good Luck to All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fonda Fair Count-down!

Yesterday was the animal entry deadline, so I hope you got yours in! Just a reminder to the horse project members that you will be there all week and actually will not be released until Sunday at 7:00 p.m. this year. Also, this year there will be an "Equine Nutrition" Seminar at 9:00 a.m. on Friday during the fair with Heather Jaqueay, a Nutrena Equine Nutrition Specialist, at the Locust Hill Farm and Stove Tent. All 4-H Members are invited to attend.

We have a lot of exciting things going on this year for Dairy and Livestock as well! There will be a "calf raising" seminar on Wednesday, at 2:30p.m. during the fair at the Locust Hill Farm and Stove Tent as well. Please plan on attending!

Please don't forget the Barn Dance in the Ag 2000 Building on Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. following the 4-H Master Showman of Fair Contest. It is open to all!

The Master Showman of Fair Contest pits the champion Showman from the Dairy, Dairy Goat, Sheep, Beef, and Swine Shows against each other in all of those species to see who is the best showman overall!
