Once we know for sure how many kids will be involved in the poultry program, we will set up another event, when it warms up, and have a washing demo, probably here at our house. we have a huge deck and live across the street froma park so it's a great set up for kids!
Right now the tough part is working with the fair board. The majority of the older members could give a flying fig about a poultry program. thats unfortunate to me. Little kids need smaller animals to start. We also need models of a lease program for poultry too. i don't want any kid to walk because they don't have a place to keep a chicken. they need to be flexible and I need examples of that here in Iowa. we also have a young youth coordinator who is dominated by the older board members and is a fraid to step on toes. Hell, I'm not! Be it on their shoulders. They ask me to get involved they better make room for both of my feet or I'll say sorry your mess your problem!
