Our first meeting of 2010 is Wed. January 6th at 6:30pm at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. We will decide on our 2010 meat animals and hand out the list of available poultry projects along with our club Constitution/By-laws. We are planning a "Dirty Santa" (White Elephant) game for the kids. You will need to bring a wrapped item ($5 or less) if you plan to participate. Contact Brad Schulz (825-3601) if you have any questions about the game.
