A buyer's plaque is a great way to say thank you and show your gratitude to your buyer or buyers. Remember that these plaques are not required unless your buyer selects to receive one.
Check out the examples that show different things that you can say and include on your plaque. Whether you make your own or allow a sign shop to make it, you should have the year of the sale on your plaque. This year's plaque would read OYLS 2025. You can add any other verbiage on the plaque to thank your buyer. Have fun and be creative!
If you need your ethics certification this year, please click here. This link will take you to the Florida State Fair Ethics page where you will find the Ethics Workshop Dates when you scroll down. You may choose any date that is available. Please be sure to note where the workshop is located, as there are workshops all over the state. Okeechobee will be offering a workshop on October 28, 2023. If you cannot make that workshop date, please choose another date before January 15, 2024 so that you are eligible to show in OYLS this project year.
