Merchandise Update
Committee chairs: Amy Brooks and Shelby Sisk
Before you head out to Bonanza, be sure to check out the committee‟s video on FaceBook! Then, when you get to Bonanza and stroll through the tradeshow building, don‟t forget to stop at chat talk with vendors. Also be sure to find the mobile cart outside and stop by. There you can buy either Bonanza or Cal Poly merchandise, including T-shirts, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, thermals, hats and Texas Hold „em playing cards. Apparel features five new designs in assorted colors.
Facilities Update
Manager: Blake Dunlap
Committee chairs: Jason Mendes and Max Panziera
New this year: To ease the flow of traffic, trailers are welcome to park in the Pioneer Museum parking lot.
Also, new signs are being made which will smooth entry and exit to and from the event center.
Attention: Beef exhibitors will notice weigh stations have been relocated. Scales will have a new setting, with less angles, so it‟s a straight shot all the way. The chairmen say the design “will be more efficient resulting in less chaos.” In addition to shaking things up in the beef exhibition arena, the sheep scales have been taken from behind the restrooms and situated next to the sheep stalls and chicken coops. All moves have been made to ease traffic, whether foot or vehicular.
New this year. . . Facilities decided to implement a release form policy. Dunlap said last year too many stalls were unkempt. So now before departure from the event center you have to follow a checklist of duties. Instead of leaving it dirty, you check-check-check, facilities says yay or nay, and off you go, or don‟t. The policy really helps Monday‟s cleanup crew. And trust me they appreciate it.
Awards Update
Committee chairs: Caitlin Walker and Kate Tscharner
The committee is excited to announce three changes:
1) Prizes this year include USB drives, girft cards and duffel bags
2) In Divisions, place first or second and receive a special placard.
3) Colors for Show A are red and black, which follow the Casino Jackpot theme. Show B colors are green and gold, representing Cal Poly.
* As usual, showmanship champs win buckles.
Had a good time talking with the different crews. They discuss ideas and seem to get things done. You gotta check out the FaceBook page for more info. Notice the many additions that make sending and receiving information a two way superhighway. Join the conversation. Enter into the photo contest. Again, find it all on Facebook!
Adios compadres,
Anthony P.
