Maddie Moo goes to the fair board


It's that time of year again to submit a proposal to the Logan County Fair Board.  Currently, our county accepts 99 animals into the premium sale:

22 steers - (only 17 were entered - only 14 were in the sale)
3 heifers
22 lambs
2 ewes
22 hogs
3 gilts
22 wethers
2 does
1 dairy heifer

We have proposed, for the last two years that they increase the numbers of dairy allowed in the premium sale AND to add dairy showmanship, since it is the ONLY species that does not have a competition.

This year we were allowed to have showmanship.  The prize all species of showmanship was an embroidered towel.  Each species showmanship winner, other than dairy, was given a key to try to unlock a box containing $300.  Dairy was not included in that portion of the premium sale activities.  Ms. Jennings sponsored show halters for the dairy showmanship winners out of her own pocket.  We received these in the ring at the end of showmanship.

The way this is done isn't right.

SO...
We are getting ready to make a new proposal.  Wish us luck!
