Qualifier Show- Friday Night

The Potter County Fairboard will allow exhibitors to take their animals over to the fairgrounds on Friday night. It is the families responsibility to bring bedding and to make sure the stalls are completely clean. Families also need to be responsible for their own garbage and take it home with them. The wash racks may or may not be on, so bathe your animals before you go over. Show starts promptly at 9AM on Saturday! See you there!

4-H Camp This Week

Just a reminder that all of the 4-H staff will be at 4-H camp this week. We do not have cell phone service or email. We are short staffed so we will not be available for other 4-H questions. Shelia (4-H Secretary) will be in the office Monday and Tuesday but out the rest of the week. If you have questions about fair or horse camp, please hold your questions until Monday, June 20. Thanks for understanding.
