LIVESTOCK SHOWS

Many of us have never been up-close-and-personal with cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits or chickens – but now is your chance!

Join us each day of the Festival to see the pride of our community – our youth – exhibit the animals and plants they’ve been raising for months and even years. You’ll see some of the finest livestock in the area and learn how the winners are chosen.
