Their regional campuses are already dedicated to providing Ohio students and families with an excellent college education at one of the lowest tuition rates in the state.

Just enter fee waiver code RCW2025 when prompted in the online application to your regional campus of choice by December 1st for these big benefits:

Due to an increase in questions to our office, we wanted to send out an update regarding the Junior Fair Livestock Sale checks. Unfortunately, we have been informed that the sale checks are not quite ready yet due to missing payments from Junior Fair Livestock Buyers. The Sale Committee has not given us a date and time for the Consignor’s Meeting but anticipates it will be before the end of the month. Once our office receives that information, we will send out another email and post it on the CloverStem.

We are asking that any questions and concerns be directed to the Sale Committee, as our office does not handle the Junior Fair Livestock Sale or the dispersing of the sale checks! Thank you and we apologize for the inconvenience!

Junior Fair Livestock Sale Committee: 937-638-9163 or office@shelbycojrfairsale.com
