Marshfield Fair Exhibit Handbook and Dates

Hello All,

 

The Marshfield Fair Exhibit Handbook has now been posted to the website.  Please go to www.marshfieldfair.org Click on Exhibitor's Handbook in left colum, then scroll down and click on 4-H/Animals.  I know that the header on the web page says 2010, however when you open the actual documents, entry forms, etc they are for the current 2011 Fair. 

 

Exhibit Books will not be mailed this year.  Please refer to the website for all information.  If you you have questions, please contact me and I will get you the information you need and can provide copies of entry forms to clubs. 

 

Please also note that there has been some changes to the fair schedule.  4-H/Agriculture Awareness Day is now Wednesday, August 24.  Please also note the deadlines for entry forms, 4-H Achievement shows, livestock shows, dog shows and poultry show entries are due by July 11. 

 

Please pass this on to anyone who is looking for information on this year's fair and we hope to see many of you there over the summer!

 

 

Thanks,

4H update

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still waiting on the list of cows available from Mr. Oneil and Mr. Jeff Chandler and as soon as we have the list of cows then we will assign them to the 4H member.

 

also this is a reminder that the club was asked to participate in the Yesterdays at the Winslow House and Daniel Webster Estate on Monday May 30th from noon-3p. anyone that is interested in helping out plz let me know. You can either dress in your 4H t-shirts with blue jeans or wear the clothes from that time period..

 

 

June 3rd 4p-9p I will be hosting the annual alpaca and sheep shearing at my house any one interested in seeing how a sheep or alpaca is shorn is more than welcome to come by 252 Tea Rock Lane, Marshfield

this will take place rain or shine as we shear in my garage...I welcome all club members and families to come by and meet the shearer and ask questions....

 

 

just a reminder that there is a barn meeting on May 21st from 9-1030a at the Oneil farm..I am hoping that this will be the day that you will meet your cow for Marshfield fair :)

4H Monday Meeting Reminder

Susan just wanted me to send out a quick reminder to make sure everyone is aware the next monthly 4H meeting is this Monday, May 9, at  6 - 7:30 at the Marshfield Fair Grounds.  IT IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING!  Each child should have a parent or guardian present.  Leasing of the cows/calves for the year will be undertaken, and if you can remember to bring your lease forms, that would be great.  Fill out as much as you can in advance - the names of the cows etc. will have to be filled in at the meeting.

See you there!
