Summer Solstice Shows - June 24-25, 2009:
We sponsored a dual-ring, ADGA/AGS dairy goat show on June 24, 2009, judged by Gary Whitehead and Keith Harrell. The Whitehead show was co-sponsored by the Alaska Dairy Goat Association.
We also sponsored an AGS dairy goat show, NPGA pygmy goat show, and AGS classification by Keith Harrell on June 25, 2009. Three herds took advantage of this rare opportunity to have their qualifying stock classified! Laura Manary and Heather Coleman headed up the show committee for the June show.
Next educational and fundraising event TBA - We would love your ideas on what types of educational and fundraising events that might interest you. Please come to our meetings to help us plan! And don't forget to come to our shows and volunteer, watch, and learn! We always need more goat handlers and novices are always welcome!
4-H is a great way for kids to get to learn about many different projects from crafts to livestock. The Alaska Mini Goat Cache is proud to support 4-H kids! Click here to go to the Alaska 4-H website.
The Alaska Mini Goat Cache is also currently developing a youth mentoring program, including a program for youth that are not yet ready to own their own goat or cannot, for whatever reason, own and house their own goats at home. We are excited to encourage further youth involvement and invite your family to contact us or come to our meetings to learn more!
We publish at least six newsletters annually. If you are interested in placing an ad or contributing to the next newsletter, please contact the Newsletter Editor, Heather Fair.
