We had a GREAT Executive Committee Meeting today! We are moving forward. We have confirmed our slate of officers who are willing to serve for 2015. Elections will be held in October. We are confirming location and band for our 2015 Shindig. If all goes well, we will have a Kentucky Derby theme next year. We don’t want to put out the date just yet! We have a new County Fair ChairBelle and are excited to see what she has planned. Next meeting will be August 12th! More details prior to the meeting!

A HUGE thank you to Robin Gierhart and Robert “Shoofly” Shufelt for donating Shoofly prints to our Scholarship fundraiser every year! Take a look at these amazing drawings depicting “The Cowboy Way!” With our CCB Scholarships, we are able to help several local college students who are pursuing an agricultural degree.
