I have been put in charge of getting the airfare together for this amazing little doeling and I don't want to let the kids down. Do you guys have any other suggestions or leads ideas or anything. I have sent out the following email to people and businesses I think might be interested in helping us out.
Email sent to prospective donaters:
We are a small 4H club in rural KS. We are holding a fair for the area children on May 26th, 2008 at the Marion County Fair Grounds. Our flyer can be seen at

Udder View Farm (udderviewfarm.com) in Maine has very generously donated an Oberhasli doeling to be raffled off to children 18 and under in our area. This is a wonderful opportunity to expand and improve the genetics of this breed in our area. Not to mention the increased attraction to the breed for youngsters that many times carries over to their adulthood.
Chris Alexander and the Alexander family have gone above and beyond by donating the doeling, donating the health certficate needed for transport, loaning us a crate for shipping, and taking it to the airport free of charge, but we are still in need of airfare for the doeling. We have currently raised $120 towards this goal. We need to raise $271 more. Any assistance that you could offer (including other contacts who may be willing to assist) to help us reach our goal to improve and expand the Oberhasi genetics in our area would be GREATLY apprecated by the children and our 4H group.
Currently donations can by made through Paypal using
PrideOfThePlainsGoatShow@yahoo.com and by checks made out to Pride of the Plains Goat show and sent to

What do you think. I also have a request into the airline for a possible discounted rate. I am at my wits end and would really like to pull this off for the kids. Anybody have any other ideas.
Thanks,
Downhome
