REMINDERS AND CHANGES FROM THE FAIR COMMITTEE POSTED ON Jan. 5

As we are getting geared up to start the 2023 MCYF, here are a couple of reminders and changes:

1. Wednesday is our first-ever Leadership Day at the Justin Building (the community room across from the Boot Store) in Nocona with 70 entries!

2. We will be finishing set up of the ring and pens Wednesday night at 6pm! Please come lend a hand if you can!

3. Ag Mech projects have an early check-in option Wednesday night from 5-8pm.

4. No animals at the premium auction on Saturday so it is IMPERATIVE that, if you make sale, you get your backdrop photos taken, either by the photographer or on your own, for the pictures to be included during the sale!

5. The creative art, food, photography, sewing, and shop project class winner Silent Auction that is normally held on Saturday morning HAS MOVED to Saturday night during the premium auction sale!

6. It is planned to have a live feed of the shows like we have had in years past…please check back here, but also the https://www.facebook.com/MONTAGUE-COUNTY-4-H-127727565100/
