The Alachua County Youth Fair and Livestock Show Association
is pleased to announce the upcoming Alachua County Youth Fair & Livestock Show, March 1-6, 2018 at the Alachua County Fairgrounds. The Alachua County Youth Fair & Livestock Show Association is a non-profit organiza-
tion that conducts and operates public fairs and expositions pertaining to agricultural mat- ters and more particularly to the exhibitions of livestock, poultry, crafts, youth projects and farm products. The fair is an educational platform for the youth in Alachua County who are interested in agriculture. Youth will exhibit both livestock and non-livestock 4-H & FFA projects.
“The youth fair benefits agriculture and the local community by providing an educational opportunity for youth to learn about
production agriculture,” said Dr. Cindy Sanders, UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Director. “Working with livestock and other agriculture events through the youth fair prepares future citizens of Alachua County to be knowledgeable about agriculture produc- tion and land use,” Sanders said. “This benefits Alachua County by providing citizens the opportunity to see our 4-H & FFA youth projects”. A complete schedule of events can be found at the UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County website
http://alachua.ifas.ufl.edu. The
event is FREE. Alachua County 4-H and FFA youth ranging in age from 8 to 18 can participate in the Alachua County Youth Fair and Livestock
Show. Come out and support our 4-H & FFA youth. For more information, please contact the UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Office at (352)955-2402.
Martin County Fair Association is preparing for the 59th
annual Fair (Feb 9-17, 2018). Some new things for this year will be a Hot Sauce tasting competition, School sculpture competition, and a new “Open Mic Stage” for folks who just want to come out and play… We will continue our Speed Cubing Championships, Local
Battle Bot competition, School Science Fair @ the Fair, Our Mad Scientist Lab with hands on experiences for the kids, our nostalgic “Dime Pitch” game for glassware, and our Eagle Scout & Gold Award Project displays, where the pub- lic votes on their favorite project, and we present them a $250 scholarship. I am hoping to pick up a few new ideas at the IAFE Con-
vention in Las Vegas. I hope to run into some of you. It will be my first time. We are still working on finalizing with our county to
MOVE! From 9 acres to 107 acres further West. Moving at the speed of government so far. It’s gonna be a loooooooong road.
