As the Ohio Beef Expo continues to grow, they are looking at options to make it an enjoyable experience for both exhibitors and attendees. Below is the tentative schedule, but the major changes include a full 3-day trade show for all exhibitors, ensuring that Expo attendees that only wish to come on Sunday still have a full trade show to experience. Also, the Youth Activities schedule that was held predominantly on Saturday in years past has now been moved to Friday. The reason for the schedule change is to accommodate more schools for a field trip to the judging contest and Beef Quality Assurance on Friday and to help Saturday’s schedule wrap-up showmanship a little earlier by starting showmanship at Noon.
The Ohio Beef Expo will be held March 17-19 at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus.
Here is the schedule:
