Our club did a food sale at Dairy Roundup held recently at the Harford Fairgrounds as a club fundraiser.  The club also helped paint the dairy/beef barn.  This was a great community service to help with.  August 10th through the 11th will be the District Dairy show.  The 17th through the 23rd of August will be the Harford Fair.  A reminder was given that all livestock members should be taking to and getting buyers interested in the livestock sale on Saturday of the Harford Fair.

During our meeting several members gave their demonstrations for the year.  KayLeen Conklin gave hers on the evolution of cameras, Evan Aldrich gave his on using a livestock scale, Eli Aldrich gave his on his market goat, Austin Chisek gave his on his birds and Sam Jones gave hers on her ski trip to Snowbird.
