🧡 Calling Guernsey breeders! 🧡 In preparation for sending in sanction applications for our annual ADGA show at the Caledonia County Fair, I would greatly appreciate an anticipated head count from our Guernsey breeders who plan to attend! Show is scheduled for SUNDAY AUGUST 30 in Lyndonville VT with judge Karen Smith.

Planning for a Jr/Sr Combined show and a seperate Jr show so will need a minimum of 8 milkers and 10 jrs. BLUE ADGA papers needed!

Trying to get some details ironed out around YOUTH activities during the fair, and looking to switch it up from our traditional quizbowl and skillathon.

I'm thinking a goat fitting competition (in teams of 2-3) would be a fun addition and opportunity for kids to showcase their skills and help teach others!

Also working on potential educational activities.

What would YOU like to see offered for the kids throughout the week in addition to our youth show on Saturday and Open show experience on Sunday?

We have secured Karen Smith for our 2026 ADGA & MDGA shows! So mark your calendar and plan on a wonderful show at CCF!

🧡 We are also excited to announce that we intend to sanction the Guernsey breed separately for the first time ever in the state of Vermont! So, if you have ADGA registered (blue papered) Guernsey goats, please consider coming to CCF next August to help promote your breed!

Edited to add: I was unaware of the significance of the wording "Golden Guernsey" when making the attached flyer. Please forgive my ignorance! Any blue papered ADGA registered Guernsey doe with legible tattoos is eligible to exhibit in this division 🙂

I am officially on the quest for our 2026 youth show judge! The show will be held the morning of Saturday, August 29th in Lyndonville VT during the Caledonia County Fair. Lodging is provided at the beautiful Burke Mountain Hotel! ⛰️

Judging license is NOT necessary- We host an open, sanctioned show on Sunday for that! Looking for someone who knows their way around a goat show, are familiar with the ADGA score cards, and willing to give constructive feedback to youth exhibitors!

Please feel free to share this with your goat show friends, and message with interest in being our next youth judge! 😊 A stipend is provided for this gig 💵

These kids and families right here is why the dairy goat program exists at the Caledonia County Fair! They make the nearly week-long commitment to maintaining their goat exhibits, participating in contests, educating the public and finally showing their goats on Saturday in the youth show.

This childhood experience is the whole reason Carolyn volunteers 12 months out of the year, and strives to make improvements and better experiences year after year.

I. Am. Beat.
But today was awesome!
Final day of Caledonia County Fair and our open MDGA and ADGA shows. Everyone showed up, all divisions official, and some exciting firsts for some great friends! I'm blessed to be part of such a wonderful event and witness these wins, learning experiences and memories 🙌

Ed Cavanagh was a hit and we all appreciated his humor and kind words of encouragement!

If exhibitors who are in the pics want to share more about their goat and win, please comment on the pictures! I am too tired to go through and log all names right now 😵‍💫
