The 5th annual Washington County Fair Dairy Alumni Showmanship Class will take place June 19th after the dairy show at the Washington County Fair. 4-H alum from across the state who have experience showing heifers or cows are welcome to participate. During the Alumni Dairy Showmanship Class, participants will be provided a cow or heifer, asked basic dairy questions, and judged on their showmanship skills.

4-H Coordinator Amy Green says that the bond that can be established between presenter and animal is unique. “We have kids who have been working on them for six months and some who have been working on them for six weeks. It makes me kind of emotional these friendships they work with these animals a lot, and it means a lot to see the community come together and support these kids.”

You can call the Washington County Extension Office for more information about the Alumni Dairy Showmanship Class or the 4-H activities at this year’s Washington County Fair.
