-The day begins at 7-7:30 am on Wednesday when everyone will feed there pigs. Then the 5:00-7:00 group will feed everyone’s pigs at their shift. If you will not be there contact Matt or Addie, Mikaela and Madi at the least and they will fill in for you.
-Barn chores. The list of 3 hour chores shifts starting at 9 am and ending at 9 pm. 2-3 people in each group. If you were at the meeting you saw the chart. It has been revised and will be sent out.

-We will wash pigs when they arrive on Wednesday and on Friday before the show.
_Chores end with the 5:00-7:00 pm shift at 6 on Sunday.

-The poultry show will be from 11:00 to 1:00 on Saturday in either the pig ring or in the poultry barn.
-The fair will provide your poultry with cracked corn and water. If you want to feed your own stuff to your birds let them know and bring it in a marked container.

-You will need to bring breed posters again. 4H stickers will be provided to place on you poster.

Pig Roast August 25 1:00 PM!!!!!

All,
So it is a go!!  Pig roast and potluck Saturday Aug. 25!     1PM at Matt & Michelle's.  (My place)

Any questions please call us at home.  (802)431-3478


We can have some fun and use this as a last chance to plan the fair.  (Probably some wiffle ball. . .)
- Barn leaders can finalize the schedules. (feeding, washing, cleaning) and who needs to be in the barn at what times for covering questions from the public.

- decorating committee: in charge of: name signs for animals and exhibitors, overall decorations, putting up and taking down 
    (BRING YOUR SIGNS FROM THE HISTORY EXPO)
    - Also, we need a way to identify poultry in the poultry barn as being exhibited by 4H members.  Might be a good idea to try and get all 4H birds in same area, if possible.

- trucking schedules for getting animals to the fair.
    animals from:
Mikayla (Caterino)
Jonathin and Rebecca (Jennifer Harrison's kids)
Bryce and Camden (Strides)
Madison and Christen (Skodas)
Addie and Mikaela (Curriers)
Michelle and Anna (Poulin)
Keenan & Zac (Thygesen/Johnson)  Jen/Seth, are you all set with transportation?  We can pick them up if needed.
Matthew & Lily (Whalen)
