May Fairboard Update

The Douglas County Fairboard is busy at work getting ready to make the 90th Douglas County Fair better than ever!!!

Here's a few things you will want to know as we come in to "Fair season":
  1. The Premium Book (with all the requirements for 4-H and Open projects) will be out, online by June 1. You can find it on the Extension website: www.douglascountyextension.org or on the Fair website: www.douglascountyfairandrodeo.com. It will be available in .pdf by department, but make sure you download the overall rules also! If you can't download it for some reason, hard copies will be available at the Extension Office.
  2. The entry forms for Fair will be available on the Extension website and highlighted in the July 4-H Newsletter. Look forward to more info. on that next month.
  3. Concert tickets for Joe Nichols, August 9th, will be available through Ticketmaster on June 14th.
  4. The County Fair Camping information won't be coming out until the July 4-H Newsletter, so just be patient and watch for it online. All new rules and regulations will also be highlighted at that time.
  5. The Livestock Sale Committee would like to remind everyone that this is the time to hit the streets and talk to family, friends and local businesses about participating in the Livestock Sale, August 9th at 1pm in the Pavilion. If you need marketing materials, brochures, cards, etc. please contact the 4-H Office or Phil Riesselman.
  6. Livestock kids - Don't forget that if you have an ear tag fall out, you must contact the Extension Office or species superintendent to get a new one put in prior to Fair.

We hope everyone is well on their way with ALL 4-H projects. Give us a call if we can help at all!
