The JBE is just a few days away! We are gearing up for the best show yet and we want to keep you in the loop. To help get the information to you as timely as possible, we will be using a text messaging service called REMIND. As an exhibitor, or parent of an exhibitor, you can stay in touch with what's going on surrounding the show with occasional text messages. Later today, you will receive a test message from the REMIND system. The great part is, because you have registered for the 2018 JBE, you are already enrolled in the system. If you don't want to receive these few messages, simply reply STOP and you will not receive messages. Some of the information we will be sending out includes: Cal

Also, "All stalls, exhibition spaces and main alleyways must be cleaned before 9:00 AM each day, and refuse matter must be disposed of as the show superintendent directs. Feed, chairs, equipment boxes, etc. are not permitted in the main alleys or in barn aisles." Total Stalls were calculated by adding the number of exhibitor families (not individuals) plus the number of head from each county. Tie Outs
