Youth Exhibitions

Some agricultural shows reserve places and sessions to showcase youth achievement and enterprise. Here is an example of a show that allows Youth Exhibitors to showcase and apply what they’ve learned in school and beyond. Horticulture exhibitors are given the opportunity to create their dream landscape (see photo). Poultry and Rabbit exhibitors can showcase their breeds qualities and strengths in our showmanship class. Market Steer, Swine and Lamb exhibitors show their best work on how to properly groom an animal in our fitting and grooming competition.
Each exhibitor is then given the opportunity to share their knowledge with fairgoers by participating in the Ask Me Talks, where fairgoers are given the chance to ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask, such as maintenance, or how the animal is groomed to how much that 1,200 pound steer may eat in any given day!
