Small Animal Association

''The Small Animal Association provides educational opportunities for all youth involved in the birds and poultry, rabbits and cavies, and goat projects. The association also coordinates and holds the SAA Sale at fair.

SAA meetings occur the first Thursday of every other month starting in September at 7 p.m. in the PMR (basement of the Extension office). The May SAA meeting is no longer mandatory, but will still feature the buyer's workshop and it is strongly encouraged that first time sellers attend this workshop.
