2008 Indiana State Fair: Entry deadline is Tuesday, July 1. 

Not only will there be an open Tunis Show but also a Tunis wool/fleece show too. Open Tunis Sheep can be brought in on Sunday, August 10. The show is on Tuesday, August 12 and you are released after the show is over on Tuesday.  Since the Tunis breed is on their final year of exhibition, the Indiana Tunis Sheep Association has raised money to offer premiums to the top five places of each class and in the wool competition as well. Come to Indianapolis where the barn is air conditioned so you won’t have to haul your fans to the fair.

63rd Annual Crawford County Fair

Meadville, PA

Woodstock Fair Tunis Special

The fair will be paying 16 places and offering 20 classes. six of these classes are bred and owned. We only check papers in the bred and owned classes, so ownership needs to match exactly. We also have youth show on Saturday, and lead line Saturday night. The youth show is judged on the Danish system. Showing the youth show and open show is okay, come in Saturday morning for the youth show, stay overnight and show Sunday and leave Sunday night. Just showing the open show, come in Sunday morning and released Sunday night. There is no entry fee, but if you don't show up and don't let us know you will not be invited back. Come on we have a potluck supper every night of the fair, Friday, Sunday, Monday. Saturday we have a pizza party for the junior exhibitors. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

29-31

California State Fair and Heritage Sheep Show

Entry due: Friday, July 18, 2008 

Open show dates: August 29 - September 1 

The Tunis will show in the primitive breed section for entries contact entryoffice@calexpo.com  or for a competition handbook go to www.bigfun.org. They have told us that if we continue with the numbers we had last year they will grant us our own show. We had three exhibitors show with a full flock a piece (Bob Barthalomew New York, Alex Rock New Jersey and Tammie Serafin Oregon). This would be such a huge landmark for all of us out west. Not to mention this show pays very well! If we can get our foot in the door with a show... they would then consider us for a spot for the Nugget sale that takes place in June. This could really be a great opportunity for all of us.
