53rd Manheim Farm Show
October 9th - 13th 2006

Traffic Director
Many of our members are actively involved on helping at the Farm Show. Last year the Manheim Young Farmers helped direct traffic two evenings. We did such a good job they asked us to assist with parking again on Tuesday October 10th and Thursday October 12th from 5:30-8:30 PM. Call Deb if you're available to help.

Miscellaneous Jobs
The Manheim Farm Show showcases agriculture to the Manheim community. The five day event requires hundreds of hours of volunteer help. We asked the Farm Show directors where they could use our members help and they gave us a few ideas:

• Secure items for the live auction to help fund Farm Show Building Projects
• Bring your family and friends to the Sunday Night Gospel sing at Salem Church
• Help direct traffic at Manheim BIC-evenings
• Help in the Farm Show French Fry stand-Any time
• Ag Commodity Nights-promote you animal ag products-Monday-Thursday Evenings
• Manheim FFA/MYF Children’s Farm Show- Any Day or Evening
• Help collect food on the YF Float in the parade to benefit the Manheim Food Bank
• Help with set-up (Monday night before) and clean-up (Monday night after)
• Enter items in the Farm Show departments
• Volunteer to be a director or department committee member

2nd Annual Manheim Farm Show Food Drive
On October 11th the Manheim Young Farmers in conjunction with the Manheim Ministerial Association will be collecting food donations during the Manheim Farm Show parade. Food can be dropped off at the Children's Farm Show display during the week or brought to the parade. The parade will begin at 7 PM. The Manheim Young Farmers have entered a float and will be walking along the parade route collecting food donations. The donations will be given to the Manheim Ministerial Association to be shared with families in need in the Manheim area and surrounding communities. Give Deb Seibert a call at 665-3065 if you would like to help collect food donations along the parade route-either walking or sorting food on the float.
