[Jacob-list] JSBA Annual Meeting

[Gary Anderson]

Members of the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association (JSBA) and other Jacob sheep
breeders and conservators are invited to attend JSBA's annual meeting to be
held at the Ingham County Fairgrounds, Mason, Michigan June 26-28.  The
meeting will begin at 6:00 pm Friday evening, June 26, with dinner and a
get-acquainted mixer.  The formal program will begin with breakfast at 7:30
am on Saturday, June 27, and throughout the day will include research
presentations on Jacob sheep, sessions on how to evaluate Jacob sheep from
such diverse perspectives as addition to your flock to Jacob sheep in the
show ring, and a Jacob show designed both to be fun and educational and to
allow breeders to compete for fabulous (?) prizes.  Saturday's activities
will be capped with a dinner celebrating JSBA's 20th anniversary.
After-dinner speakers will discuss JSBA's early days and how Jacob sheep in
the U.S. have gotten to where they are today.  Other activities will include
a raffle, breeder displays of flocks and products, and lots of opportunity
to buy, sell, or exchange sheep and simply "to talk Jacobs".  Breakfast will
be available Sunday morning, June 28, and information provided on local
sites of interest for attendees planning to spend the day in the area.

 

Registration information will be included with the May JSBA Newsletter.
Everyone is encouraged to check the JSBA website (www.jsba.org
<http://www.jsba.org/> ) for information on options for transportation to
the meeting.  Registration materials as well as information on the program
and the raffle will be posted on the JSBA website in the near future.

 

All Jacob sheep enthusiasts, JSBA members and nonmembers alike, are
encouraged to mark their calendars and plan to attend this year's JSBA
annual meeting.  Plan to bring your sheep to display, to sell, and to show
(or not).  Also consider hosting a table of your Jacob products for display
and/or sale.

 

The local organizers look forward to a large turnout and attendance at this
year's meeting.  See you there!
