Exhibitors and Farm Show managers are all ready looking toward the 1981 show. For anyone interested in participating m next year’s largest show, here are some items to keep m mind. For anyone who wants to show an animal, be it cattle, horses, sheep, or swine, the F.S. Commission has a limited time period for applying for - entry. Nor mally, the County Extension agents are notified sometime around October that applications can be made. Notice also goes out to those people who exhibited m previous years, and the breed associations also find out when the sign up period begins. Unfortunately, for those people who aren’t m touch with their Extension office, breed association, or who never showed at the state’s largest livestock show in year’s past, finding out about the entry period is somewhat difficult. Ac cording to Charles Itle,' Farm Show Director, they can call the commission office to get this information. So, keep in mind, that next October is the time to get in touch if you want to have a chance at exhibiting an animal at the 1981 Farm Show. The time for sign-up is short, closing in November, so don’t wait. Once the Farm Show Commission accepts your application, it’s time to check your health records to make sure your animals have the proper vaccinations and identification. The requirements vary for each type of animal, and there are minimum time periods before the show in which these shots have to be ad ministered. The best check to insure that you have met all the requirements is to refer to the F.S. Premium List. This book spells out what is needed and by when. Purebred animals need to have their registration certificates ready and with them throughout the show week.

KREIDER Frystown, Pa. 717-933-8943 Brief answers to short questions Sheila's Shorts By Sheila Miller time before assigning the show cards to the exhibitors. When you bring your animals to the Farm Show building, either Friday or Saturday before the Show begins, an official of the state will be there to check them in. They will make sure the health papers are in order and the identification tags check out with their records. This is a protection for the exhibitors to make sure no animals are per mitted into the bams with any health problems, and that the animals can be easily identified if they should get “lost”. And, before leaving the Farm Show on Friday af ternoon, the exhibitor must get a dismissal slip from the Commission. Again, the state officials will be checking to make sure all the paperwork is complete. During the week, the exhibitor has to keep the area around his entry’s assigned space m clean order, so you had better be sure to take along a broom and a shovel. If you don’t keep your “house” clean, the state will do it for you, for a set fee, of course. It’s a good idea to mark all of your equipment so that it can be easily identified. It seems that some brooms, forks, and shovels, along with brushes and combs gain the ability to walk away during the week long event. And, stock up on a good sense of humor and a lot of patients and good sport smanship, It’s a trying week, and nerve-ends become frazzled with spectator crowds and pre-show jitters. But if your wear a smile and practice courtesy to everyone, you can come through tiie week with new friends and good memories.
