Jr. All-Missouri Points: Juniors voted to continue the point system. The points are as follows:
District Show — 16
State Fair — 20 points
First junior animal exhibited by a junior in each open class receives full points, with following places decreasing by 2 points each. Again awards will be given per child instead of per class, and one award will be presented for partnership animals.
Jr. Membership Fees due March 15: Membership form on main page to print or in Pulsator newsletter. It is important for juniors also to get their state dues paid on time, with the correct address, phone number and email address. This is the information we utilize to contact you throughout the year regarding awards, programs, activities, etc. We do not want you to miss out on an event because we did not have your accurate information. State membership fees are due by March 15. If your household only has junior members (no adult membership) then you might want to consider adding a Mid-States Magazine subscription for $5. A great way to stay connected.
