This agreement is between GDGBA and the above youth & parent. Since the above is a youth under
the age of 18 years old, the parent must give legal permission for GDGBA to use the youth’s name &
photos in promotional materials for GDGBA publication. These publications include: newsletter, or
any printed material, website and social media. The undersigned youth and parent or legal guardian have read the terms of the participation
agreement and will abide by the enclosed terms. The terms are as follows:
1. The point system & point shows.
a. 2024 Shows included in the point system are: GDGBA Spring Show, Evin Evans Show, Gwinnett County Fair Open Dairy Goat Show, Georgia National Fair Open Dairy Goat Show and Ghosts and Goats Show.
