Junior Contest Ideas
Sharon Yorks:
Good point, Matt. I guess I also need to get some ideas of what kind of awards the juniors would like to receive. What type of award would motivate the juniors to want to participate in contests?
Sharon Yorks:
Any thought or ideas on what kind of awards the juniors would like to win? I really like Matt’s idea of having multiple contests so that there would be a variety of things to choose from. And when he said,
“Keeping the youth involved also keeps the parents involved. Hopefully the youth will continue raising birds as they get older.”
That comment led me back to Mike’s generous offer of donating a bantam breeding trio. That’s a great way to keep them involved! I know I’d write an essay in hopes of winning his nice birds. You have no idea how many times I kick myself for not jumping on the blue bantams he sold and delivered at Lucasville last year.
Mike – If your offer is still available, I’d like to pursue your idea. It's a really good one! Have you thought anymore about it? Would you like to figure out the topics, rules, and guidelines?
Sharon Yorks:
SUBJECT TO A FEW CHANGES - Let me know what you think.
Bamtech:
This should be a fun project for the kids. This is a good prize for the kids based on the amount of effort they have to put in to the project. My kids have some fun ideas already.
Sharon Yorks:
Thanks, Matt! I appreciate your response. I think it will be a lot of fun, and thankfully there is plenty of time for the kids to be thinking up ideas.
Mike - Have you thought anymore about the essay contest? If you want to give me some specifics, I'd be happy to make up a flyer.
