Families,
Study guides and information for the 2019 Shelby Co. Junior Fair Livestock Skillathon Contest are now posted at http://go.osu.edu/shelbyskillathon
All youth exhibiting an animal at the 2019 Shelby Co. Junior Fair MUST participate in the skillathon contest in order to participate in a Junior Fair show and for their project to be deemed complete. The Skillathon Contest will be held on July 20, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. More details about the contest, including format, awards, topics, etc. can be found on the aforementioned website. In the event a youth has an approved conflict for the day and time of the skillathon contest, they may take a make-up during a pre-scheduled appointment the week of pre-fair judging (July 15-19). Youth MUST call in advance. No walk ins!
If a youth needs accommodations, please contact us at 937-498-7243 to discuss. We are happy to provide applicable accommodations, including reading assistants.
In general, studying for this year’s topics can mostly be done from the livestock 4-H Resource Manuals. I do not anticipate skillathon kits to be necessary for studying this year. However, clubs and families may still check them out if they so desire.
Please let me know if you have any questions about skillathon.
Thank you,
Cassie
