GOAT WORK DAY RESCHEDULED

This is a call out to all 4-H Youth Goat Project Families and to anyone else who wants to volunteer.....

The Goat Barn Work Day has been rescheduled to Friday, JULY 12th!

Let's show our new Goat Superintendent (Wanda) your support and volunteer during our goat barn work day at the Fairgrounds. Our program is a success because you are so supportive and everyone helps everyone.



Here is the information for the work day:

Friday,JULY 12 from 5-??? @ the goat barn (Lowell Fairgrounds).

The wall to the milk room is down! We are fixing the windows with new latch hooks, planting the flowers needed in front and behind the barn, repairing milk stands and installing new pens where wall was removed.

Please bring work tools to assist such as pry bars, hammers, power tools, gardening tools, wire cutters, etc.

Should be a good time so we are hoping to have a great turn out!!

Many Hands Make Light Work so plan to attend.

Fred the Fundraising Goat aka "Cash"

Cash is the name of our fundraiser goat who will be at the Kent County Youth Fair August 5-10, 2013.

The Kent County 4-H Goat Developmental Committee (GDC) will be auctioning Cash at the LIVESTOCK SALE on Thursday, August 8, 2013 starting @ 2pm.

In an effort to pool our resources and raise funds, the “Friends of GDC” are collecting donations to purchase Cash. Photos of "Cash" will be posted soon!

You can help support the 4-H Goat Project in Kent County by making a donation—give as little or as much as you want to help the Friends of GDC purchase Cash.

This is a win-win situation—your donation will benefit the GDC even if we don’t win the bid at auction!

Funds are being collected now. If you would like to help collect donations or you have a donation to deliver:

FIRST— Call or email Lori Ostrom your donation information. She will be tracking our progress.

THEN— Funds can be mailed in or delivered to any of the GDC Officers
