⭐️⭐️⭐️Attention All Exhibitors ⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are putting the final touches together for the County Show, and we have some important information to share with you:

🟢 All Small Livestock Animals are to use the pens in the Swine Barn for your animals.

🟢 As soon as you have unloaded your animal, please come to the Registration Table in the Ag Pavilion to register and to receive your Exhibitor Number.

🔴 There will be areas of the barns that will be off limits and they will clearly marked with signs. Please keep your eyes open.

🟢 We want to leave the barns in the best shape possible when the show is over, and we need your help. We are asking EVERYONE to clean their pens before they leave. After you clean your pen, please find one of the GMYLA Board Members or Robin Haynes to inspect your pen. Once your pen has been inspected, you will receive $20 from GMYLA 💰.

We want to wish everyone good luck this weekend!
