Hello, my name is Bryce Long. I am 11- years-old and am in the sixth grade at Woodland Elementary School.

This is my first year in 4-H and my first year raising turkeys. I received my turkeys in early May. I have had fun learning about them and watching them grow.

I would like to invite you to the 2010 Mariposa County Fair Sept. 3 through 6. The livestock auction will be on Sunday, Sept. 5, starting at 3 p.m. Following the auction, all buyers are invited to a free dinner.

I really appreciate your support in my first year and am looking forward to next year.

Bryce Long
