Suggestions:1. Your Record Book should start on the purchase date of your animal.2. Record Books should be completed on animals relating to your Market project.3. The only item that you should submit at the August meeting (or prior to meeting) is the record book. Please do not make it a scrapbook. Do not take pages apart.4. Do not put record book in a binder. If you add pages, staple or tape them in place.5. Always double check your work, especially your math calculations.6. Have someone check your project story for spelling and grammar before you write it in the final record book.7. Your final record book should be hand written by the exhibitor.8. Must be completed at least 70% to be considered a completed book. If not a 5 % percentage may be taken off your market check.9. Bring to the Weds. August 1, 2012 meeting, or give to one of the adult board advisors or mail to PO Box 22, Scottville MI 49454.
