Greetings All~

Just checking in this week… I had full intentions to get a LOT of information out this wee, but unfortunately, I ran out of time.

SO, NEXT WEEK – will have LOTS of information coming out starting on MONDAY!

PLEASE read the emails coming out in the coming week – all of this information has fair schedule, protocols, etc. which I PROMISE should answer MANY of the questions circulating!

Here’s what I WAS able to check off my list…

• Livestock Market Exhibitors
  • 1) THANK YOU to those that verified Parent Names & other posted information for the sale. If there are any other updates, please email me & I continue to make corrections as they come in.
    • Sale Link: https://u.osu.edu/henry4h/henry-county-livestock-sale/
  • 2) If you have NOT connected with me (Morgan) to let me know how you’d like your MARKET STEER, HOG, LAMB OR GOAT will go at the conclusion of the Sale (home, custom or truck) PLEASE send me an email, otherwise I’ll be calling next week.
• Ohio State Fair Still Project Representatives
  • I HAVE TO SUBMIT your State Fair Registration by MONDAY. So if you plan to attend State Fair, please email me ASAP and then YOU HAVE to pick up your Exhibitor Packet at the Extension Office (it WILL NOT be emailed to you).

This coming week…

• Deeper review of Move in & Move out of the HCF
• As well as what the interior of the building looks like now*
• *We are planning to host a Jr Fair Open House the week of 7/28 & will have that date as soon as we can confirm – – NEXT WEEK (7/21, the Ag Hall, Rabbit Barn, Road in front of the Gazebo AND the Backstretch of the Racetrack will be getting PAVED – so I highly encourage fairground visits be kept to a minimum)

On a personal note, I am super excited to be taking some family time out of the area this weekend & away from work – so please know, if I haven’t responded to your needs this week, I’ll be catching up all day Monday! I appreciate your understanding!

Sincerely,

Morgan
