*4H vendors also allowed
*Photo booth with 12 months of the year, specialty calendar with their pigs and people can vote online.
Fundraising: selling t-shirts, special names for special donors (Go check out Texas and see if they will share ideas about how they did fundraising). Find out more information with Janet, Johanna. Look at their website (Kathy and Sharon).
Promotion: Instagram and FB sites going. Johanna proposed ideas to have 4H members to walk new people through the event to talk about what is going on. Invite local dignitaries and the press to come. Maybe a separate area of for sale cavies. Victoria proposed fun promo videos. Greg proposed also doing a You Tube channel with Allen Messick style videos. Video of Jackie after the best in show. Video of winners would be a great idea. Chris proposed also other informative videos to post as well.
Hospitality: Johanna proposed to have 4H kids in 4H shirts there when people are unloading to have them help.
