We are excited to introduce a new opportunity coming to the 2024 Shelby County Fair. The “Time to Shine” show is presented by Shelby County 4-H, in partnership with Shelby County Board of Developmental Disabilities, to provide youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to show at the Shelby County Fair.

Participants will be mentored by 4-H and FFA members who have received training, have experiences showing livestock, and have a willingness to share their knowledge of junior fair livestock projects. For more information and to register, visit go.osu.edu/timetoshine (Registration opens on May 15th)!
