Young 4-Hers and Quilts Go Hand in Hand!
4-Hers learn to sew by sewing. We can all learn to sew, by sewing! Sewing straight seams for a quilt is a wonderful way to get experience, and quilts make WONDERFUL community service projects. So people learning to sew and quilts go hand in hand!

DNA Envelopes:
Submitting DNA has changed from last year. This year in 2018 exhibitors will be responsible for submitting their own animal information into the AKSARBEN livestock database prior to the nomination deadline.
In the past, families turned in DNA envelopes & breeding nomination cards to the Cass County office, the staff mailed them in to AKSARBEN, and the entry process was done manually. Now, the database accepts animal information submitted directly by exhibitors, including the payments, for DNA. Families will have the ability themselves to edit incorrect information up to the deadline.
