FROM PRESIDENT RICK ADAMS
Hello to all Shropshire Breeders.
As my time as your Shropshire president and board representative from Illinois comes to an end, I wanted to take a look at some of the things that have been accomplished. I am happy with our efforts to improve the quality of the sheep. I have strived to bring breed character to the forefront. There has been some improvement in breed character, but we need to keep striving to make it better.
We have gotten a lot of outside influence that has been the cause of a lot of our problems. It has brought in detrimental genes and a lot of variation in our breed character. We have tried to address some of these problems but haven’t been able to do enough about stopping the root cause. As long as we keep using outside genetics to make our sheep better for the showring we will continue to have these problems in our breed.We might be producing better sheep but we are losing our breeds identity in the process. It is hard to legislate honesty. Some think
we are trying to do too much and others think we aren’t doing enough. If we could trust everyone to have true pedigrees and be honest it would be easy. Making rules to force the honesty may result in a lot of unwanted consequences. It is a difficult balancing act.
Rick and Brenda Adams at their son Brad’s wedding with a medieval theme.
We have been meeting on this issue several times and are finding it hard to find common ground. I hope that as we move forward we can find that common ground and solve some of these problems. Not solving these problems makes it hard to attract new members. If we all work on this together we can prosper as a breed. I have enjoyed my time on the board and as the president. I have been on the board for 12 years and president for the last two. As the board moves forward, lets work on new ideas with open minds. I like my Shropshire sheep and the people I have met and became friends with over my time in the breed. I will continue to be part of the breed and keep working on Breed Character.
FROM SECRETARY BECKY PETERSON
Welcome to the October Voice here in 2024. The year has flown by and the office felt busier than in other years though the stats remain largely unchanged. The home front had its trials and tribulations that slowed progress down for a bit but we seem to be on the upswing and moving forward.Your patience at these moments was much appreciated.
Sale results held pretty steady as well with 92 head averaging $919 at the Ohio Showcase and a $552 average on 32 head at the Indiana Premier. An additional 24 head sold at four online sales at an average of $717. State fair entries were strong as well and 199 head were shown and placed at the All-American Junior Show.
females at the Ohio Showcase Sale. They continue to be enthusiastic and will both be active owners and promoters of the breed.
We welcomed two new young Shropshire owners in the Starter Flock Program, 11-yearold Paisley Epple of Hillsboro, Missouri and Hunter Robbins of West Point, Tennessee, age 10. Both received stipends and purchased their
NAILE is right around the corner and we expect a good sized show in both the open and junior divisions. The junior show will be on Saturday, Nov. 16, judged by John Mrozinski, followed by the open show on Monday, Nov. 18 with Jeff Held making the selections. Junior Showmanship will be on Friday Nov. 15 and sorted by Heidi Barkley.
The Junior Association meeting is scheduled for Friday evening. The ASRA Board will meet on Sunday morning, Nov. 17, followed by the Annual Meeting of the members at 6 PM. We hope to see lots of Shropshire breeders at ringside viewing the judges’ choices. Exhibitors are reminded to send the matching entry fees of $12 per head entered to the office to boost our obligatory premium fund. The ASRA is committed to provide a portion of the premiums awarded with $2172 `spent for the 2023 Junior Show and $1628 for the Open Show. And for those exhibiting sheep in our National Shows in Louisville, please remember to follow the Shropshire breed standards and leave no wool in the flanks, from the poll backward and above the knee and hock joints.Your cooperation is much appreciated.
Numerous state fair results are included in this issue. We may try to limit the space needed to publish these by limiting the number of placings and/or some group classes. We hope you will help promote our shows by sending in results from other shows and we will use them as much as possible. I would like to utilize the Shropshire Facebook page more but I do not spend a lot of time glued to my phone. If you have class winner show photos from your adventures, you may email them to me and I will share them on the page whenever possible. Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing you in Louisville or somewhere else in 2025. We hope you will continue to promote and support this breed!
Becky Peterson has decided to step down as the Executive Secretary of the American Shropshire Registry Association.
We would like to thank her for her 17 years of service.
The board of directors will be conducting a search for a replacement. Please look to our Facebook page and our website, shropshires. org, for more information in the near future. Please reach out to any of the board members for more details.

Minutes of Board of Directors’ Meeting
May 5, 2024 via Zoom
Meeting was called to order at 8:04 p.m. by President Rick Adams. Also present were Mary Anne Keck, Jim Gruenhagen, Charlotte Stephenson, Jason Heeg, Jon Nicholson, Ashley Fuss, Jared Poynter, Bill Bryant, Rick Whiting and Mike Elsbury. Not participating were Danny Rogers, Caleb Fritz and Mandy Curtiss.
Secretary’s report – Becky had emailed the minutes of the January 28 meeting.There were no additions or corrections. Jim Gruenhagen moved to accept the report with a second by Jared Poynter. Motion carries.
Treasurer’s report – as of April 30, 2024 Balance sheet showed total assets of $54,643.51. Becky noted that interest income will be slightly higher due to higher interest rates on the CD’s. Also noted that the Voice income included February and May book and some ads not included in 2023. But Voice expense was only for February Profit & Loss statement showed a profit of $496.04 at this time. Becky noted that the office work statistics showed slight increases in all areas. Ashley Fuss moved to accept the report with a second from Jon Nicholson. Committee reports
Budget – Jim Gruenhagen More advertising support is needed. Charlotte Stephenson
helped to get more vendor ads for last issue. It was thought that registrations would increase this year. More Starter Flock donations need to be found. Junior Association Funding needs to increase to keep those programs going. It is hard to reduce expenses. Proposed budget shows a small net loss of $627. Other suggestions included adding a donation line to the work order form. Junior board members should be encouraged to contact breeders for program support. Mary Anne Keck moved to approve the budget presented. Charlotte Stephenson seconded. Budget approved.
Voice & Promotion – Charlotte Stephenson reported that she had contacted 66 companies by email to try to get more advertising and. $2127 was committed from feed and supply vendors for three issues. She encouraged board members to try to solicit ads from their regions and also to help gather show results. Thank you to Charlotte for her work. Becky noted that she is trying to include animal ID in some show results when available.
Junior Association – Sandy Kovacs has been helpful in coordinating the Junior Association and organized a successful Online Sale hosted by Breeders World. $1308 was raised for the Junior Association from 13 donated lots. There was a recent Zoom meeting for the juniors where new officers were elected: Emily Stevens president, Addisen Nicholson vice president. These two older juniors will do a great job organizing and promoting. Sandy has discussed proposing a Showmanship Derby (similar to a Futurity) but details are not available. We’ll try to get more going on that for the November meeting and 2025.
Futurity – Caleb was not present. Becky presented stats so far: 41 ewe lambs and 10 yearling ewes from four online sales and the Indiana Premier Sale. The Ohio Showcase Sale is the only major sale left for nominations. There was discussion regarding charging a second nomination fee for “buy back” animals and offered again at a later sale. Also is a “floor bid” in an online sale considered Have something to share in the
an actual bid? Should the Shropshire Futurity program offer a special rate for breeders who nominate several ewes over the course of several sales? Should the Shropshire Futurity program consider a “Bred & Owned” Program? Discussion followed. It was decided to submit those questions to the Futurity Committee to discuss in advance of the November meeting so that any updates are ready for 2025.
DNA/Competition – The two committees were assigned to investigate pedigree integrity by BOD meeting in January. There have been four meetings. All have agreed that DNA testing is a complex issue and the only way to verify parentage is through DNA testing. It is not the intent to discourage breeders or create financial burdens but sustainability and longevity of the breed is important. The was a question & answer session at the Indiana Premier Sale and this is planned for the Ohio Showcase, as well, and the committee is listening and taking all input to heart. Another meeting should be held prior to the November meeting.
Hall of Fame – the 2024 inductee will be Farrell Schultz of Ohio. His family will be present at the Ohio Showcase Dinner. Nominees for 2025 are requested.
Star ter Flock – Mike Elsbury reported that there were two applications and both were chosen. Paisley Epple of Missouri will receive a $1000 stipend. Hunter Robbins of
Tennessee will receive a $500 stipend. There was discussion about the low number of applications and the success of the program as a whole. In its history there have been a few recipients that appeared to become inactive fairly quickly. Does there need to be changes to the application process? The committee will discuss at the Ohio Sale.
Royalty – there are three Bo-Peep/Boy Blue applications and one Princess. They will all be present at the Ohio Sale. They will be asked to submit a little story for the October Voice.
National Sale – Bill Bryant reported that there will be a dinner on Friday evening. Charlotte Stephenson will be the person to look at the leg/belly wool in the sale consignments.
New Business
Jared Poynter mentioned that John Albin of Newman, Illinois recently passed away. He had been an ASRA president from 1965 to 1967. Jared will find an obituary and contact info for the family.

2024 Shropshire Hall of Fame
The Ohio Shropshire Breeders Association provide the sole nomination to this year’s induction that took place during the dinner at the Ohio Showcase Sale on May 10 in Greenville, Ohio.
Farrell Shultz’s son, Bill Shultz, and his wife, Susan, were present at the dinner to receive the Shropshire Hall of Fame plaque presented by Committee Chair Ashley Fuss. We applaud Farrell and his family for his contribution to the Shropshire breed and the sheep industry.
his sale catalogues.
From 1950 through 1956 one of his ewes “Tracy 792” (by an imported sire) established a Shropshire production record that has never been equaled – in seven years she raised two sets of quadruplets, three sets of triplets, a pair of twins and a single; 20 lambs for a lifetime 286%.
From the Shropshire history book, “The First Hundred Years,” Farrell Shultz of Bunker Hill Farm, DeGraff, Ohio, ultimately established a reputation as one of the premier all-around purebred men in America. From the late 40s until his dispersal sale in 1962 nobody seriously challenged his superiority as a breeder, showman or Shropshire promoter, but Farrell ‘paid his dues’; starting at the bottom as a rank 4-H boy, he tried for 10 years before getting his first county fair blue ribbon. He came into the national circuit against skilled, long-established flockmasters like McKerrow, Iroquois, Rotter, Brown and Moore at a time when Shrops were still the biggest, most competitive classes. Gradually he gained a ‘toe-hold’ and then his ‘foot in the door’ and ultimately domination. At many shows in the late 1950s if it wasn’t Shultz, it wasn’t winning. He began biennial production sales in 1952 that soon were setting record prices.
Farrell was a pioneer, a believer, and a promoter for the judicious use of production records as one tool in the selection process toward functional breed improvement. His record system was a model for the times and he worked closely with Professor Ralph Grimshaw and the Ohio State Improvement Program. Performance scores were listed in
He routinely exposed his ewe lamb replacements to rams and thus, he felt, identified his most prolific strains. The genetically superior but ‘milked-down’ yearlings were unattractive to prospective buyers who visited the farm, allowing him to replenish the ewe flock from his most productive bloodlines.
If a ram lamb had satisfactory performance scores, was well grown-out, correct in his makeup and considered a purebred stud prospect, Farrell christened him with a ‘Flockmaster’ trademark. He maintained 100 brood ewes and bred them to five stud rams so he could offer variations of type and lineage to his customers.
He was topping many shows with his ‘American Type’ by the time the first McKerrow imports became available but he immediately began experimenting with some of these bloodlines. Not wholly satisfied, he went to England in December, 1951, he hand-picked two rams that had a lasting influence on the breed. Imported ‘Sir Winston’ sired the first modern International champion ram with English breeding and his picture was used as the proto-type Shropshire for 20 years. ‘Tern Cambridge’ had been Champion at the British Royal and weighed 314 pounds on arrival out of quarantine. When mated to Farrell’s battery of ewes he proved to be pre-potent for his performance, uniformity’ and breed type, and his progeny brought then-record
Farrell Shultz
prices and influenced nearly every progressive Shropshire flock in the United States.
At the 1957 Ohio State Fair the top three Shrops in every class, with two exceptions, were sired by ‘Flockmasters’ and his 1958 sale catalogue listed as reference sires nine International champions that had been used at Bunker Hill in the last 10 years. In 1962, at the pinnacle of his success, Farrell was forced by physical problems to disperse his flock and quit farming, He moved to town and became an insurance executive.
For 30 years his often-humorous, always provocative articles in sheep publications have
delighted readers. Respected and popular nationwide, his portrait hung in the Ohio State University Agricultural Hall of Fame in the early 1950s. He has always stressed, and lived by, his code of integrity.
His reputation as a breeder and skill as a showman contributed more than anything else to the ultimate integration and acceptance of the (old) ‘new-type English strain’ modern American Shropshire.
The deadline for nominations for the Class of 2025 Hall of Fame is January 30. Information and the form is available on the Shropshire website.

Show Results
A note about show results: Every effort is made to publish results of state fairs and other major shows. Results are downloaded from the shows’ websites. Occasionally results are confusing or incomplete and will not be used. Whenever possible the identification of the sheep will be included if it is provided in a consistent manner. In the interest of space, placings are limited to the top 10 for major shows and not all group classes may be included. The exception is that results from the AAJS and NAILE will be complete. Members are welcome to submit results from other shows and we will do our best to include them as space permits.

~ In Memoriam ~
JOHN S. ALBIN
John S. Albin, 95, of Newman, Ill. died April 20, 2024 at home surrounded by his loving family.
John was born on Oct. 28, 1928, in Newman, to Leonard B. and Grace H. (Harrington) Albin. He married Marjorie A. Albin on Sept. 10, 1949, and spent 71 wonderful years together until her passing in 2021. He was also preceded in death by his parents and one son, Marty Albin.
John is survived by two children, Perry (Cathy) Albin and David Albin; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren, with one on the way; and a very close family friend, Will Coolley.
John graduated from Newman High School in 1946. He was the captain of the football team his senior year and had an undefeated season.

ROBERT GLENN “BOB” JOHNSON
Rober t Glenn “Bob” Johnson of Marshfield, Mo., was born Nov. 3, 1944, in Oak Ridge, Tenn. to William and Helen Morris Johnson. He departed this life on June 16, 2024, at the age of 79.
Bob worked as a field agent for the USDA for 35 years before working as an agricultural loan analyst for Southern Missouri Bank until fully retiring in 2016. He served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army during the Vietnam Conflict stationed in Vilseck, West Germany. Bob was a member of the Marshfield United Methodist Church where he served as an Elder, served the Marshfield School and Webster County boards and was an Assistant Sheep Superintendent at the Missouri State Fair. He also was a member of the American Shropshire Sheep Association where he served as President and on the Board of Directors during a pivotal time in that organization.
Bob loved raising livestock passing this love to his children and grandchildren. He raised Hereford cattle as a youth in Texas County and Shropshire and Suffolk sheep in Webster County with his family. He
and Karen provided many great memories showing sheep across the Midwest at county, state, regional and national sheep shows and for that Kari, Russ, Gina, and Mary Anne and their children will be forever grateful.
Bob’s greatest role in life was being Karen’s primary caretaker for 13 years. He embodied the promise he made to Karen, “to have and to hold… for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish from this day forward.” Bob and Karen were a formidable team, quite possibly the greatest teammates to have ever lived.
He was preceded in death by his parents, and his wife, Karen.
Bob is survived by four children, Kari Johnson and Rob Hill, Marshfield, Mo., Russ Johnson and Molly, Wooster, Ohio, Regina Wilson and Kalen, Bentonville, Ark. and Mary Anne Keck and Jason, Niangua; eight grandchildren Colby Chastain, Morgan Johnson, Mason Johnson, Mallory Johnson, Margo Johnson, Milo Johnson, Kirsten Keck and Hunter Keck; one brother, Bill Johnson and JoAnn, Houston; brother-in- law, Ted and Eva Marie Morse, Marshfield; sisters-in-laws, Elsie McColgin, Raymondville, and Jolene Carson and Gregg, Rolla as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends that became family.
Inurnment with military honors was held July 18, 2024, at Missouri Veterans Cemetery, Springfield. Memorial contributions may be made to TLC Programs or the Ark at UMC in care of Fraker Funeral Home.
Shropshire Royalty
This program enjoyed reviewing the applications of four youngsters this year. Applications were received and reviewed early in the spring. Presentations were made at the National Sale event at the Ohio Showcase in Greenville, Ohio on May 11. The new BoPeeps are: Gracelynn Camp, Canton, Ohio, age 6; (Boy Blue) Andrew Camp, Canton, Ohio, age 10; and Michaela Haudenschield, Kenton, Ohio age 10. The 2024 Shropshire Princess is Landree Street, Alexandria, Ind., age 11.
(past Shropshire Princess) and Isabella Camp (2023 Shropshire Princess) went to Malvern Headstart and advocated for Shropshires and other breeds as well! They passed out cookies for kids to feed sheep and goodie bags! Gracelynn also attend a few jackpot shows as well!
Michaela Haudenschield is very much all about her Shrops, also as 2023 Starter Flock recipient, and was busy in the ring helping with awards at July’s AAJS as was Princess Landree Street.
We look forward to introducing them once again in Louisville in November.
The Camp family sent an update earlier in the summer: Gracelynn Camp 2024 Bo Peep with her older sisters Abbigale Cattrell
Applications for the 2025 Royalty are relatively simple and will be available on the Shropshire website during the winter. The deadline for submissions is March 15

2024 Starter Flock recipients
Two Shropshire Starter Flock stipends were awarded this year and the recipients each purchased lambs for their projects at the Ohio Showcase Sale.
Hunter Robbins of West Point, Tenn. is a 10-year-old fourth grader and lives on a farm with a variety of livestock. He showed sheep with his brother last year and decided that he would like to have his own animals and show them to state and national levels and raise his own lambs. He received $500 toward the purchase the beginning of his flock.
He writes: “I have been working hard with the sheep I bought with the starter flock money. I began showing them at 4-H shows and fairs in July. I use one for showmanship. Both sheep have placed in the top five in their classes at most shows. I won Reserve Champion Ewe at the Tennessee State Fair with the January ewe I bought. I enjoy getting up early to work with my sheep and getting them ready to show.”
Paisley Epple is 11 years old and lives in Hillsboro, Mo. and received $1000 toward her purchases.
“I purchased two ewes from the Ohio Showcase Sale, one yearling ewe and one junior ewe. I have shown them all summer long at many places. My favorite shows this summer that I got to attend with my ewes were Freedom Fest, All-American Junior Show and the Missouri State Fair. I look forward to showing at NAILE in November.
“My yearling ewe was purchased from Raudenbaugh Family Farm. She and I won Grand Champion Shropshire ewe at the Missouri State Fair.We were in the top five in the Supreme Overall Drive! My junior ewe was purchased from City Limits Sheep Farm and was second in class at the Missouri State Fair. I have had an amazing summer full of shows, clinics, learning, traveling, and LOTS of fun!
I have met so many wonderful people that have helped teach, guide, and influence me. I can’t thank the Falch Family enough for all their help and guidance with my Shropshire ewes this year. I would need several more pages to write about all of the amazing experiences that winning the Starter Flock Grant has given me. I am so grateful and appreciative of the opportunity that the grant has awarded me. Thank you to every supporter of the Shropshire Starter Flock Grant. My yearling ewe is back in Ohio with the Raudenbaugh

Family Farm breeding to their buck, “Stay Frosty.” I am so excited to continue to grow my flock and be a part of the National Shropshire Association.”
The Starter Flock Program began in 2014 and was initiated by the National Shropshire Junior Association. Funds are raised each year, sometimes enough, sometimes short.
In 2024 the following made outright donations totaling $373: Windswept Crest Farm Petzel Family, Wisconsin; Dave Huston, New Hampshire; and Sand Meadow Farm,
Connecticut. The income from the paid email blasts is also directed to this fund. Thank you to: Brad Slutz, Indiana Premier Sale, Erik Mrozinski, Sugar Ridge Ranch, SS Shrops, Step Ahead Shrops and Nob Hill Shrops for utilizing this promotional tool. It provided $500 to the fund. In 2023, $312 was unused by the Futurity Regional Awards and was redirected to help with this cause.
Thank you to all who support this program and congratulations to those who are growing their flocks with their help!

All-American Junior Show at Michigan State was bursting at the seams
By Deb Hopkins, Show Chairman
The 31st Annual All-American Junior Show just recently completed its fifth visit to the Michigan State University Livestock Pavilion in Lansing, MI from July 4-7, 2024 and it broke the record of sheep entered at this show site by over 1500 head. So, needless to say we did have to implement a hard entry deadline this year and rent additional tents for housing.
We would like to thank all the exhibitor families for their understanding and cooperativeness in dealing with these special circumstances.When all the dust finally settled at the show, we had 578 exhibitors showing 2,536 head of sheep in 35 breed categories. This is 200 more exhibitors and 1000 head more than in 2016 when the show was last held in Michigan.
The show this year also featured the 2024 National Tunis Junior Show, National Suffolk Junior Show, National Junior Romney Show, National North Country Cheviot Junior Show and National Junior Corriedale Show. It was the third year for our Supreme Champion Ram and Ewe drives. This year the Champion Southdown Ram was Supreme Ram shown by Carson Knittel, IL and the Supreme Champion Ewe was the Slick Shorn Hampshire ewe exhibited by Jacee Johnson, WI. Congratulations!
The total numbers shown by breed are as follows: Southdown 398; Hampshire 283; Polled Dorset 249; Shropshire 214; Suffolk 152; Dorset Advantage 104; Natural Colored 108; Dorper 107; Tunis 97; Oxford 89; Lincoln 82; White Dorper 73; Katahdin 72; Border Leicester 60; Cheviot 57; Romney 56; Horned Dorset 52; Corriedale 41; Rambouillet 38; Cotswold 34; Babydoll Southdown 31; Mon-
tadale 29; Columbia 28; Merino 27; Texel 19; Targhee 15; North Country Cheviot 10;Valais Blacknose 6 and Shetland 5. We had the inaugural Valais Blacknose show this year at AAJS and are looking forward to the future growth of this breed at the show.
We were expecting a large show in the Great Lakes section of our country and things came together for a very nice event. A SPECIAL THANK YOU goes to the local Michigan organizational committee co-chaired by Karen Scovill and Donna Averill. They and their committee went above and beyond to host another quality AAJS in Michigan.
The All-American Show is a sheep show where the major focus is on the exhibitors and their families. Even though many awards are given out over the course of the weekend the show is designed for our junior exhibitors and their families. The exhibitors participated in many events besides the breeding sheep and market lambs shows including cornhole games, Blome pizza party, the popular Ag Olympics, skill-a-thon, judging contest, ice cream & pie social, lamb camp, wool show, promotional contests, grab-n-go complimentary breakfasts, virtual shearing contest, Saturday night Lamb Brat dinner, individual and team showmanship competitions, scholarship programs, lead line and dress-a-sheep contests. It is an action-packed weekend for sure and it seems like there is never a dull moment.
This show would not have been possible without the help of the many volunteers that helped us out during and prior to the show. It basically takes a village to successfully put this show on.
The All-American Committee would once again like to thank all the National Breed Associations for their financial support. Many individual donors and sheep breeders across the country supported the show in one way or another by sponsoring classes, selling ewe lambs, buying raffle tickets, donating items to be auctioned off, donating raffle items, donating ram semen straws or donating gift baskets. Your support is truly greatly appreciated!
We have had many special corporate/business supporters that either donated finan-
Mike Callicrate, the owner of No-Bull Enterprises based in St. Francis, Kansas, has introduced a humane and innovative method for the non-surgical removal of testicles in smaller livestock. It’s called the Callicrate WEE Bander. Let’s explore the details:
What is the WEE Bander?
• The WEE Bander is a castration tool designed for calves, kids (young goats), and lambs.
• It offers a bloodless and effective method of castration without the need for manual cutting or crimping of the loop.
• When stretched, the WEE Loop™ opens to approximately a 1 ½-inch triangle.
• If the testicles fit within the loop, the WEE Bander works effectively.
Advantages of the WEE Bander:
• Achieving adequate tightness during banding is crucial for reducing stress. The WEE Bander combines simple technology with proper tension, resulting in complete ligation.
• Unlike traditional elastrator rings, which lack sufficient tension and cause stress, the WEE Bander provides an alternative that meets humane animal treatment standards.
• Studies have shown that hightension banding triggers a natural analgesic effect, blocking pain while minimizing swelling and complications.
• The WEE Bander is a step toward improved animal care and well-being.
Kit Details:
WEE Bander™ Kit for early castration (newborn) includes the WEE Bander tool and 5 WEE Loops™. Additional WEE Loops™ are available in bags of 25 or 100.
The WEE Loop Stretcher™
The Callicrate WEE Bander provides a humane and stress-reducing solution for castrating young animals, promoting their well-being

Plans are under way for next year’s show, which will be taking place at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, Springfield, Ill. from July 3-6, 2025. Melanie Hall will be heading the local organizational committee. Her contact information is (217) 454-5751, blifff2011@hotmail.com. They have already had a preliminary meeting at this year’s show and are getting organized to host a fantastic event back in Illinois. The show broke records the last time we were there and are looking forward to another large show there next year.
If anyone is interested in helping out with the show in any way or has any ideas please feel free to contact Deb Hopkins (401)8291360, email: allamericanjuniorshow@gmail. com. As you can see it takes a lot of willing people to assist and we welcome all. Look forward to seeing everyone next year in Illinois!
