Round Robin Workshop

| Workshops |

The Round Robin workshop is coming up on Wednesday, July 10 from 4:00–7:00 p.m. in the 4-H, Youth, and Community Livestock Arena. This youth-guided activity is an informative workshop where exhibitors have been kind enough to bring their project animals for others to practice with and gain hands-on experience. We will have all 7 divisions of animals that will be included in the Round Robin competition. This is a great opportunity to learn from your peers who have had success showing their species and learn techniques for showing those animals. This workshop replaces the Round Robin clinic that is usually held during the county fair. We encourage all youth to participate!
