The Regina Howerton Memorial Scholarship 2025

The requirements are as follows:

• Application must be complete and legible. Applications must be written in blue or black ink and will only be accepted if they are complete and legible.
• Essay question responses must be typed on a separate sheet of paper.
• Applicant must have been a Clermont or Brown County Junior Fair Livestock Exhibitor prior to 2021 as well as a current exhibitor for the 2025 show year. (Livestock includes cattle, swine, goats, lambs, rabbits, and chickens).
• Applicant must be a senior in high school due to graduate in May of 2025.
• Checks will be issued to the college or university of the recipient’s choice.

Due to the amount of snow at the fairgrounds, extreme cold temperatures and the incoming predicted weather Clermont County Junior Fair Board is rescheduling the Market Beef weigh-ins and Market Turkey ordering that was scheduled for this Saturday, January 11th.

The new date will be Saturday, January 18th from 8am-10am.

*ATTENTION Market Beef Exhibitors, if your animal needs to be tagged on Saturday, Junior Fair will be charging $3.00 per tag.

This addition comes because rising tag prices and the Ohio Administrative Code mandate that by 2027 all exhibition cattle and swine be tagged using EID/RFID tags. Any animal without an existing EID/RFID tag will need to be re-tagged on Saturday. They will be charging $3.00 for new tags as well as any tags that will need replaced throughout the year.

If your market beef already has an EID/RFID tag, DO NOT cut it out. That tag will be recorded and used as the ID for the animal.
