​Stall request forms  
 Stall request forms are due at the MAY club meeting.
*for a stall request form---  every individual child listed on the request form, must each sell either a flat of geraniums, or 6 baskets, in order to stall request .  Siblings/and step siblings will automatically be stalled together without request.  Stall request are used for family/friends other than sibling/step sibling. (example, cousins, friends, etc.)  ​.  Groups that "barn together" during their calf raising project are not automatically stalled together.  A completed form and proof of geranium sales must be turned in at the same time.  No exceptions.  This is for whom you want to stall with, NOT where in the barn.
