the Prez Sez
It’s hitting summer time and I hope everyone has their air charged up. The
market is slow at this time, but we have been here before. Let’s hope by the end
of the year it picks up.
It’s also Fair time and MPBA will be at the Missouri State Fair in August for the 10th through the 20th.
If you would like to help out at the booth any day, please let us know. We are in the Ag Building again this
year, and we will be handing out information about MPBA and helping those looking for the next family pet.
Protect the Harvest is donating gift baskets again! There will be enough for one winner each day. Hope you
can volunteer to help.
Call 417-718-4182 or email 4agfriends@gmail.com for more details about helping out.
MPBA has already been to many events this year. The most recent were the Polk County Cattlemen
Dinner, PPA Seminar, and the Cattlemen Steak Fry.
The Canine Care Workshop for 2023 (MO Dept of Ag/USDA) will be held Friday, July 28, 2023. Remember
to sign up ahead of time!
Enjoy your summer!

I would like to introduce Mandy Griffiths, who
has agreed to begin helping us with the magazine. We are excited to have Mandy join us and for all
she will be bringing to the magazine!
Mandy owns and operates Red Cedar Saints kennel and raises St. Bernards and Brussels Griffons.
She is the president of the Northern Ozarks Pets & Exotics Club chapter.
Mandy has a lot to offer and we are glad to have her on board. Be sure to look in future magazines
