ELGIN LIVESTOCK SHOW ENTRY REMINDERS (DUE 11/01/21)

---

Good Afternoon!

We wanted to send out a couple of reminders for the Elgin Livestock Show & Youth Fair - please pay particular attention to the Entry Forms - they are due Monday, November 1st, and may be postmarked on the day OR turned in at the Board meeting scheduled for 7:00 PM this Monday, November 1st, at the Elgin VFW.  

Mellanie will be at the meeting in order to sign off on those who are entering and take pictures of show entries for eligibility.  If you are entering under 4-H, Mellanie needs to sign your entry form, NOT your Club Leader.

Check out some of the other information available below and let us know if you have any questions!
