Bastrop ISD Ag Barn Survey

Hey all!  

We have been asked to send out a survey to youth that are attending Bastrop ISD.  Please see the message below from the new Bastrop Area Livestock Show President and let us know if you have any questions!  They would like to collect responses by this weekend in order to help start the conversation.

Good morning!

My name is Barbara Lang and I am president of the Bastrop Area Livestock Show board.  I am trying to find a way to get a barn for the kids that want to show.  Below I have attached a survey to be filled out by parents/students to see how much interest there would be in fighting for an ag barn for the kids to raise their animals in.
