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.

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.

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.
