We hope to see you at our Youth Livestock Show, part of the FIRST EVER Okeechobee County Fair!  

 

The  Okeechobee Youth Livestock Show committee would like to invite you to attend the 2007 shows and sales to be held at our County Agri-Civic Center.  4-H Club and FFA chapter members are active in their groups, keep accurate records and raise quality animals.  These project teach responsibility and help our youth to become good citizens.

Please help us support them by attending the Shows, Sales and Steak Dinner  and by purchasing one of their livestock projects.  If you are unable to purchase an animal, consider making a donation by "adding-on" to any youth exhibitor or to the show as a whole! 

Thank You,

Rick Barnes, President
