The JABGA Needs Your Help!!
2016 JABGA Regional Shows
It is that time again, and the dates have been set. The 2016 ABGA/JABGA National Show will be held in Grand Island, NE. Fonner Park will host the week-long event from June 4th through 10th, 2016. The ABGA/JABGA would like to invite you to be a part of a major fund raiser for the JABGA. During the 2016 National Show week, a silent auction and live auction will be held. Proceeds from the sale will go directly to the JABGA. All donations are accepted and much appreciated. Each donor will have their name published in an issue of The Boer Goat, on the JABGA Facebook page and on the ABGA website. During the show, names of the donors will be announced over the public address system and a special thank you given. I would like to thank past donors for their support and encourage potential donors to contribute to a great cause. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Again thank you for your continued support of the ABGA/JABGA and the Boer goat industry. Please see below for examples of past items donated:

Juniors! What a year it has been already! For the JABGA, Nationals is a time where junior members can interact face to face with other junior members who live thousands of miles away. It’s a time of celebration, competition, and camaraderie. Prior to National Show week, junior members have the opportunity to enter a photo or scrapbook into the annual JABGA Photo and Scrapbook contest. These will be judged prior to Nationals and the winning pieces displayed at Nationals. Winners will be recognized during the week. During the entire week of Nationals, JABGA will hold several events, contests, and fundraising opportunities. The JABGA silent auction will start on Monday and conclude at the ABGA Awards Appreciation Dinner Thursday evening. During this dinner, there will be a live auction to benefit the JABGA as well. Please stay tuned to the National Show website, ABGA and JABGA Facebook pages for updates to the schedule of events.
