CHICKEN WORKSHOP SET/EXHIBITOR DEMO
This Thursday there will be an informal workshop on exhibiting chickens, featuring the former Fair Queen and Grand Champion Chicken Exhibitor, Genny Gierke at 3:00 at the Houghton County Fairgrounds in the Chicken Barn.
Bring your chicken. =D Big cardboard boxes work great. Put some newspaper on the bottom to catch any leakage or hold dust in. Also, milk crates would work (if the chickens are small enough).
They have some chicken books to hand out that are $5 for non 4-H members. Their club is willing to take care of that cost for people, but everyone might consider becoming a 4-H member, which is only $10, then all these materials and events are offered for free.
Please RSVP to (withheld for archive)
*****************************
Also, I believe there is a workshop at the Exhibit building on the 2nd Tuesday in August (the 11th) for indoor exhibits (school papers, projects, produce, canning, etc.). Contact the Extension office for more information.
