In 2000, we moved Contestant's Day to April. We thought this would allow the winners more time to raise money to pay their way to the NEYC. We then dove right in to planning NEYC which we hosted in Poultney Vermont this year. That made for a pretty hectic July because right after NEYC was Family Camp & a Youth Grange meeting the next 2 weekends. We had one week off & then held our fall Bowl-a-thon. The very next weekend was Youth Camp. Personally, I then had to go home & finish the signs for our fair booth which needed to be setup the Friday after Youth Camp. The next day we started practicing our Rose Drill for State Session.
Yikes! Busy as a bee - thank goodness State Session is less than 2 months away. After that, we'll start next year's drill team!
