New Officers

On October 12, 2009 we met at Adam and Nicole Martens's home to discuss our fundraiser's results and upcoming events. The State Convention is November 6, 7 & 8 in Oklahoma City. Daniel and Kay Koehn, Adam and Nicole Martens, Clint and Jessica Wilcox and Ryan and Monica Wahl will be attending. Adam and Daniel will be voting delegates for the FB business meeting; and Jessica, Adam, and Daniel will be our YF&R delegates during our business meeting.


At the meeting we voted in new officers, they are as follows:


President- Adam Martens
VP- Daniel Koehn
Secretary- Jessica Wilcox
Treasurer- Kay Koehn
Board Rep- Clint Wilcox




We had a new person show up at the meeting. His name is Levi Bratten. He works for One Ok and lives in Fairview, he is originally from the Vici area. He is getting married in January. He has not moved his membership, but he is interested in becoming involved with our YF&R group. If you know anyone else, I encourage you to invite them to our next meeting. 2nd Monday of November!

We have been busy....

In July, we had a float in the Wranglers Rodeo Parade. Thanks to Kay Koehn, we had an amazing banner to show. Kay made it out of fabric so we could use it at different events...Thank you Kay!



In August, we purchased a John Deere safe to sell raffle tickets for a chance to win. We sold tickets personally, at the local Farm Bureau office, Sooner Coop Store, during the car show, during the county fair and during the Threshing Bee. The winner was drawn the Saturday of the Threshing Bee. The winners were Brook and Kodee Strader of Homestead, OK.







During the local Major County Free Fair, we decided to introduce a new event, Pigwrestling! We had a huge response. We had 13 teams enter and approx...200 people gather to watch. The winner of half the jack pot was a local Firefighter team, which captured the pig in 4.6 seconds.








On October 10, we provided a free lunch for the Hunter's Safety Class at the Northwest Votech. We fed about 90 adults and children.
