Sponsors: Purina Feeds / Honor Show Chow, Private Sponsors

Personal Animals: Exhibitors are encouraged to bring one of their own animals. If you have the ability to bring multiple animals and would consider the possibility, please let us know. Some participants do not have animals for spring shows. This would be a great opportunity for youth to work together by sharing animals to help someone that does not show until the fall. Youth do not have to bring an animal to participate. Bring your own bedding along with all supplies that you would utilize at a livestock show.
The NC Cooperative Extension Service, NCSU, or our sponsors will not be responsible for any livestock at this event. Medical Release Forms: A representative from each county should have a copy of a notarized medical release form on each participant in case of an event requiring medical attention.

Meals: Lunch and dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday will be provided at the facility.
Sunday Morning Devotional: A short service will be held from 8:30 to 9:00 for those who wish to attend.
