We are a group of volunteers voted onto this board for 3 year terms by the exhibitors and their families at the annual meeting. Your suggestions and questions are welcome to any one of us. Our purpose is to make the Manitowoc County Market Animal Sale the best quality sale for our buyers to support, as well as striving to educate the youth exhibitors all about animal care and responsibility throughout the year.
We currently meet the second Sunday of each month at Manitowoc County Office Complex (MCOC) at 6:30 PM, but that is subject to change at the board’s discretion throughout the year.
