Oops. The barn meeting is actually this Saturday, 11/20 from 9-10:30 a.m. Sorry about that.
Please note that bake sale contributions as well as other donations (toys, coats, canned good…) are optional. Please contribute what works for your family. You are not required to contribute to each event. The kids decided they wanted to support these causes. Every little bit helps.
Thank you for your support.
Mrs. Peavey

Hi Farmtastic 4-Her's,
Cat and I would like to have Farmtastic 4-Her's get involved in a great service project. It is an organization called Soles4Souls, and it collects new and gently used shoes for children and adults that do not have any.
If you have any shoes you can donate please bring them to the meeting tomorrow night or the next barn meeting. We will box them and ship them to Soles4Souls. To find out more about this great organization check out the website www.soles4souls.org
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions!
Meg and Cat
Below is an email we received from Pat Loring.
Hi Susan,
Your 4-H Club members were terrific on Saturday and they obviously impressed the Clipper editor with their knowledge. Please extend our thanks to all the kids who were at the farm for Farm Day. As always, they were a highlight of the day with their dairy knowledge and farm skills. Also, the location of your tables near the barn, was perfect. In fact, next year I plan to spread out all the tables, so we're not all clustered under the trees. Thanks very much for adding so much to Farm Day and for organizing your kids. Everyone thought the day was a huge success.

It should be a fun day and we looking forward to it.

Tomorrow’s meeting will be cancelled there are some sick cows at the barn and health reasons we feel that we should not be at the barn! We will try to have a pool party at Peavey's house either Tues or wed night! Watch for another email soon when we have an update! If you have any questions plz give Jim, Courtney or myself a call please do not bother Mr. O’Neil at the farm!
This year's shifts are listed below. We would like each 4Her to do one of each shift for a total of four shifts. There is an overlap of 15 minutes between shifts. During the overlap each group will meet with the next group arriving so they can go over what went on during the shift. You will need to sign out with the parent on duty before you leave.
We would like to have 4 kids and 2 parents per shift. Sign ups will start at Saturday's barn meeting. A sample schedule is attached. Please look at the fair schedule in advance so you do not sign up for a shift during your show or achievements. Also be sure to check with your parents to make sure you can get to the shift or don't have another conflict.
If you are unable to attend Saturday's barn meeting, you can email your requested shifts by replying to this email. These requests will be filled in after Saturday's meeting.
If you sign up for a shift and can not make it, you should try to cover the shift and let Courtney, Jim or Susan know who the replacement is. If you can not find a replacement we still need to know that you will not be there.
The schedule will be posted on the blog. Also it will be available at the fair once it is completed.
Below are some of the show dates. However, there may be additional times and dates depending on what you have signed up for. Please check the fair handbook or website at http://www.marshfieldfair.org/book.htm.
