Start Date: January 30th, 2013 (midnight)
Weigh-In: February 2nd. Weigh-in starts at 11am and the line will close at 2pm. No one allowed in line after 2pm. No exceptions.
Location: Registration and weigh-in location has changed this year. Registration will be held at the Quitman Chamber of Commerce located at the Jim Hogg Park on South Main in Quitman. Registration will be January 30th from 5pm to 7pm. Weigh-in will also be at the park. Contestants will turn off of South Main beside Dairy Queen onto Richards street and then take a right onto McCallister street. This will take you straight into the rear of the park where weigh-in will be held.
Early Registration: We are having early registration this year by mail only. Early registration will begin January 1 and end January 19th. Entries MUST be postmarked between Jan1 and Jan 19 to be accepted. Make checks or money orders payable to Quitman FFA Alumni. Please do not send cash for early registration. You will be required to list an email address so we can send conformation of your entry. Mail entries to Quitman FFA Alumni Po Box 1062 Quitman, Tx 75783.
Rule Changes: Live hog division.....if a hog is unable to walk off the trailer and onto the scales without assistance, the hog will
NOT be counted in the contest and the market buyer will
NOT buy that hog. Team members will be responsible for unloading their own hogs and getting them on the scales.
Dead hog division.....back by popular demand, this year we
WILL weigh every hog that a team brings in for a total weight instead of the team having to pick what they believe to be their 3 heaviest hogs.
The city has waved all vendor fees for use of the park for this event so if anyone is interested in setting up a booth, please let me know via the email or phone number listed below.

The Alumni really appreciates the support we have received over the past three years. This hunt funds the scholarships the Alumni gives out to graduating seniors each year. To date we have given almost $8,000 in local scolarships. Again, thank you for the support of our program and tomorrow's leaders.
