4-H Equine Advisory Committee (EAC) and Junior Fair Equine Meeting

The next EAC and Junior Fair Equine meeting this coming Tuesday, September 5 starting at 7 p.m. at the Senior Fair Board Office.  During this meeting we will be asking for three things……

  1. Give at least one positive thing from this last year.
  2. If you give a positive, then you can share something that you feel did not go well and how we might change that for next year.
  3. You can give a suggestion on a change for the Junior Fair Equine schedule for 2018.

None of the items will be discussed unless clarification is needed.  Our next scheduled meeting will be designed to tackle the issues at hand and come up with a plan to move forward for the new year.

If you are not able to be at the meeting, you can submit these items by email to rees.139@osu.edu and they will be shared with the group that evening.
