Fundraising

Would be nice to get a scale for market animals, pay for shavings at the fair. Have a club barbecue.
Ideas so far
- Can do a carwash at Carl’s Jr on most any Saturday.
- Could do a livestock show or a horse show.
- Do a clinic.
This seems to be an ongoing challenge – this may require a committee to get started.Need 5 volunteers to research options and report back to the club next meeting
