Putnam Co. Farm Bureau news

First off we would like to welcome Clayton McCammack and Forest Knapp to the board as Clayton was elected at the annual meeting and Forest was appointed at our last meeting. At our meeting Monday the Cloverdale FFA updated the board on their activities. They are currently making plans for their exhibit at the County Fair where they will have animals available for the children to pet. At the meeting the board agreed to provide "Champions in Animal Care" t-shirts for all ten year members who exhibit animals at the fair. Other Farm Bureau activities at the fair will include providing a $100 award to the new Fair Queen, supporting the Beef Ultrasound program, awarding the Master Gardner Award, purchasing a 4-H member's Livestock Sale Animal, providing 4-H Tenure awards, and conducting the Pet Parade on Thursday along with the Pedal Pull on Friday afternoon. Our Infamous Milk Barn will once again be open under the guidance of past FB President Virgil Arnold. Any FB member wishing to help in the Milk Barn need only to stop in and see Virgil during the fair. We look forward to seeing everyone at the fair.
