PENNIES * Penny Wars: Missouri WON Penny last year at the National Convention in Springfield. Penny Wars is a Holstein Foundation fund-raiser that helps national junior activities. Last summer at the National Convention in Springfield we saw first-hand how these donations are used. We will be participating in Penny Wars again at the National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this summer. We would love to be able to keep Penny in Missouri. Sylvia will have a Penny bucket at the Spring Show - so remember your pennies!!
Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to this challenge!
JUNIOR ALL-MISSOURI POINTS: There are three shows that constitute the winners: District Show, Spring Show, & State Fair. The weight of the shows will increase with each show in the order listed. Check and see when and where your district show is. State fair points come from the open show placings and NOT the junior show.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Jr animals need to be in jr name by June 1. Application has to be in Brattleboro by June 1.
NATIONAL CONVENTION: This year’s National Holstein Convention will be July 7 – 11, 2013 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Anyone interested in going please let Sylvia know. Currently Missouri has juniors that have formed a Junior Dairy Bowl team. There were five (5) people that signed up for a Speech. Missouri is only allowed three (3) contestants, so there will be a run-off , the top three will advance. Anyone interested in submitting a Folding Display in either the Scientific or Creative category needs to submit their topic and name to Sylvia by April 22. There is no limit on the number of Folding Display’s MO can enter & jrs may enter both categories the same year as well.
Digital Scrapbook: Lora Wright made last year’s digital scrapbook and won 1st place at National Convention. She is working very hard again to make an even better scrapbook. Please send any photos or news paper clippings to Lora at [email protected] or mail to 3259 Jasmine Rd, Clever 65631 and she’ll return photos. She needs input from everybody to make our entry a success.
