the Prez Sez
Here we are in 2025! Let’s hope it’s a great year the industry. MPBA held its Annual Educational Conference
on March 7th and 8th, and we had a good turn out once again. The Benefit Auction was a huge success this year – thank you everyone who helped us make it successful! Our attendance report from the Conference showed there were 1,600 visitors who came Friday and Saturday. As we begin to plan for next year, we are also gearing up for all the events MPBA will participate in the rest of this year. We will need volunteers to help us work MPBA booths for the State Fair and other events throughout the year. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us! We will also need FFA Speaking Contest judges in November to help judge the district speeches. If you’d like to participate in this event, please let us know. Let’s get involved and help make this a successful year for Breeders.

from your Publicity Director
Greetings, everyone! Another exciting expo has concluded successfully. I would like to express my sincere
gratitude and appreciation to everyone who contributed their hard work to make it happen. From setup to teardown, your efforts were truly remarkable. A special thank you also goes to all the vendors who participated and contributed to its success. Both the dog show and pet show boasted exceptional attendance, showcasing a variety of beautiful canines and imaginative costumes. Congratulations to our FFA speech competition winner; the winning speech is featured in this month’s magazine. Planning for next year’s expo will commence shortly; new team members and those wishing to increase their involvement are encouraged to express their interest. We appreciate your assistance and contributions.
Cheers!
