A Word from our Presidency… Hello everyone, We wanted to apologize for the cancellation of the club meeting. We were really looking forward to seeing everyone but life just seemed to get in everyone’s way. Thanks to everyone for understanding. We are going to try to have a meeting Friday May 9th about 7:00pm at the Boise fairgrounds. Please submit any ideas or concerns to Scott prior to the meeting so we can put them on the agenda. As we think about what we need to do as a club to get more people involved, we wanted to remind everyone of the fliers that were made for each show and emailed out a few weeks ago. As you sell your babies this spring please try to pass those out and encourage those people to come to the show. We have asked Jodie to include them in the newsletter but if you need a copy please email Teasha and she will get you one. We also think we can get more participation with the RENT A GOAT program. We really think we can bring up our attendance with this idea if we all promote it. If you have someone interested but you don’t have a goat they could use please contact Teasha, she will find one they can use. We had Jodie republish the show expense info as a reminder of what it takes to put these shows on and the importance of trying to bring in new exhibitors. Teasha is going to try to keep all of the clubs show info and newsletters posted on her website to help Karen out until she can get the new club website up & going. Just thinking we needed a spot this information could be retrieved until then. We are SO EXCITED to see everyone this spring! We are going to have a fun & fabulous show season! ~Your Presidency

A Reminder from

our Treasurer,

Jim Dowdy

Recap from Last Month

Jim has put these statements together in hopes of making everyone more aware of the costs involved with putting on a show. As you can see it is very expensive. We need everyone's help in finding ways to promote the club and the shows to bring in new members and exhibitors. We also need new ideas on fund raising and getting sponsors for the show. It also would be nice to have one very nice auction item per show and are looking for ideas. We are going to have a fun year and I know that if we all band together we can come up with some fun ideas and get the club back in the black. Make sure to mark your calendars for the meeting in MAY in BOISE!! The more people that can make it the more FUN it will be.

YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Hello my name is Skylar Colwell, and here is a little

bit about how I got showing pygmy goats. My first

goat for showing was a wether named Rocky Road.

He was just right for a six year old showing in

showmanship. I used him for showmanship for a

couple of years until one day my Mom got a wether

she had sold back from a lady, his name was

Georgie. He became my new showmanship goat.

At first Georgie was hard to walk and just wouldn’t

cooperate. But my Mom would say just keep

working with him and he will get better. So I did. I

worked and worked with him until I started showing

him all most every show that I could. Georgie

helped me and I helped him (by rewarding him with

grain) so, we made the perfect team. Not only was

he good in showmanship, but he was also great in

his wether classes. I started getting ribbon after

ribbon and trophy after trophy until he soon became

a platinum wether!

This summer my Mom is going to give me a doe

that is born here. She will be the first goat in my

new herd. I hope that I will be very successful in my

future goat showing and that I will learn as much as

possible to be one of the best. And thank you all for

supporting me in my goat showing.

Skylar Colwell
