The practice show was held on Sunday, June 27, 1999 at the Newsom farm. This was a great educational event for a big group of 4-Hers and FFA members. A showmanship skit, skillathon, fitting and feet trimming demos. Afterwards there was a cookout compliments of Dyersburg FFA. Orders were placed for our new T-shirts that Kim Newsom designed. They would be picked up at the district show in July at Union City, TN.
