The North Dakota Junior Point Show Association is a group in North Dakota consisting of kids with a passion for showing livestock; cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. This group puts on shows in North Dakota through out the winter and summer for anyone to go to. You do not have to be in the NDJPSA to participate. The point of this association is for those who are in the group to go to the shows and accumulate points as they have success with their livestock. This group has a Facebook page to keep members up to date with the shows that are coming up as well as the meetings. If you are not able to make it to a meeting, any new decision that was made at the meetings will be posted to the Facebook page to keep everyone in the group informed. Lastly, the group keeps you updated on how many points you have accumulated through out the year. This helps you know what place you are in with other kids in the group and if you are in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, you will receive prizes at the end of the year. Just click on North Dakota Junior Point Show Association to view their Facebook page.
Overall, this Facebook page keeps everyone in the group very well informed in all aspects. The only negative side I do see to only using Facebook as a source is not being able to reach the information to those who do not use Facebook. Some things that could change would be to appoint a secretary to send out monthly news letters, as reminders for those especially that do not use Social Media.
Below is a photo of the group of kids that participated in the point shows in North Dakota last year and have continued with it this coming show year. This group is also an amazing way to meet friends who also participate in the show circuit.
