The Open Sheep Show will take place on both Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12-13, 2009.
For more detailed information about the schedule, call Eunice at 908-730-7189 or send email to
sevensprings7@hotmail.com.
This is an off-the-truck show. There will be sufficient pens at ringside for shows in progress,
but you must remove your animals from those pens when you are finished with your show to allow others
to use them. Any remaining pens will be available on a first come first serve basis with a 3 pen limit
per farm. No bedding will be provided. There will be pen managers in the barn to help you find space.
We strongly recommend that you bring your own pens so the safety of your animals is guaranteed. Set up
of your own pens will be in designated areas. Please follow the signs to the Exhibitor's Entrance.
Thank you for your cooperation.
