On September 1 from 3 to 7 p.m. will we be conducting Junior Fair Premium Pick-Up as well as Club Packet Pick-Up at the Ramser 4-H Activity Center.  We are requesting that each club send on representative during that time frame to pick up those items.

With the premium pick-up we will have a list of what each member will receive for easy distribution.  If you have members that went through the sale, we will also have a detailed copy of their sale slip so they know all their buyers, potential add-ons, and what deductions were made.

Club packets will be available from Jana that will have ribbons and any Farm Bureau t-shirts that were not picked up at the fair.

We still have miscellaneous projects that were displayed at the fair that still have not been picked up.  Those we will also be available that day.
