Virtual Tour of your Farm for all to See!Would you like to advertise your farm to our National Convention guests in video form? We will have virtual farm tours playing on the tour buses as our guests travel to different destinations and in the convention center.

This is a great opportunity for our members whose farms are not on the tours to share your story with our guests. You will fill out a script and send in about 6 photos to create a video of your farm.

Contact Mary Angelo, Publicity chairperson, at 417-880-5732 by APRIL 15, if you would like to be included. A $30 fee will apply.

Farm Tour MapWould you like your farm placed on the Missouri Farm Tour Map both in the Souvenir Book and online. This is to show our visitors to Missouri there are many herds they can visit on their way to National Convention? All you have to do is place any size ad in the 2012 National Convention Souvenir book and your farm will automatically be placed on both maps for our driving visitors convenience. Convention attendees will be traveling through different parts of our state. This is a great way to attract them to your location on their way to or from the convention!

2012 National Convention Sale UpdateSelections are now being made for this exciting event. I am looking forward to making it an event that is both fun and profitable for all involved. The Futures sale will be ‘Deal or Real Deal Sale’. This is an exciting new concept that will prove fun and exciting for consignors, buyers, and attendees alike.

The National Convention Sale will be held under the lights and red carpet of Juanita K Hammons Hall for the performing arts. A fast paced two ring concept and an unparalleled staff will raise the bar for sales to come! Thank you again for the opportunity to work with each of you for a successful National Convention Sale. Interested consignors contact Dallas Burton at 785-806-9774; dallasburton@cox.net.

~ National Convention Ticket Order Forms ~ Ticket order forms will be in the April Holstein World or online at

www.holsteinconvention2012.com. Online registration will begin next week.

REMEMBER: if you plan to volunteer or attend convention you will need to purchase your own tickets for the events that you want to attend!

Holstein Princess:Brittany Groves, Holstein Miss: Audrey McClellan

SPRING SHOW FOOD BOOTH (what we need from you): Jrs. will have the food booth at Spring Show. We will serve lunch on Saturday. Juniors need to bring can pop (Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, or Water), pies, and/or desserts and have time to help serve all through the rest of the day. Even if you show, you can find a few minutes to help out. If not, there is always the cleanup after the show. Looking forward to a successful event in Columbia, March 31.

PENNIES * Penny Wars * $$$$$$$: Please help our juniors keep Penny the stuffed cow when Virginia brings her here for the 2012 edition of the competition. This Holstein Foundation fund-raiser helps all junior activities on a national level and you can see first hand this summer where your donations go. Come play penny wars during convention and deposit your pennies into our jug and watch us win!! Give pennies to Janice anytime up to convention and she will deposit them for you.

How this works---we collect pennies and fill our jar at convention. Whoever has the largest amount in their jar gets to claim Penny. It is called “Penny Wars” for a reason. Pennies are real money in this contest. If we were to get dimes, nickels, quarters or even dollar bills in our jar, they count against us. We would use these other coins and bills to reduce the amounts in our competitors jars. Let’s get down and dirty.

If you would like to write a check or give money not in penny form that is OK. I will convert them and use them however it will help us win Penny. Janice will bring her bucket to Spring Show - so remember your pennies!! Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to this challenge!

FUND-RAISERS: Thanks to everyone who made the Jr Fun Auction at Convention a Success!! District Baskets (2013 State Conv) Food Booths: Spring Show and State Sale Raffle calf Collect aluminum cans at shows and at home to sell.

Southwest district has won the basket award this year and will get a pizza party at their district show. Thanks to Sheila Groves for purchasing the basket!

JUNIOR ALL-MISSOURI POINTS: Remember!! Juniors that the Spring Show is the first show of the new year to start accumulating points for Junior All-Missouri awards. There are three shows that constitute the winners: District Show, Spring Show, & State Fair. The weight of the shows will increase with each show in the order listed. Check and see when and where your district show is. State fair points come from the open show placings and NOT the junior show.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Jr animals need to be in jr name by June 1. Application has to be in Brattleboro by June 1.

NATIONAL CONVENTION: Lora Wright made last year’s digital scrapbook and won 3rd place at national convention. She is working very hard again to make an even better scrapbook. She needs your help by you sending pictures and articles to her add to our scrapbook. Contact Lora at leroyw2@mowisp.net or mail to 3259 Jasmine Rd, Clever 65631 and she’ll return photos. She needs input from everybody to make our entry a success.

We would like to see juniors and their parents at this year’s convention being held in SPRINGFIELD,MO!!! The dates are June 27-30. This will be a fun and exciting time for our state. Even if you do not have an active role in some activity, come and help make our visitors welcome. Watch the web site and follow us on Facebook for updates. The World will have registration blanks available soon. If you need a room, now is the time to get one. The hotel is over half full already.
