The Relationship between Quality
Counts and the local County Fair
Where does it start?
Quality Counts starts at home (At your local or regional shows)
In Fort Bend County…
350 4-H members participate in livestock projects at Local and County shows
Major Shows
100 of those exhibitors, exhibit at the major shows
State Fair of Texas
Question
If Quality Counts is just for major show exhibitors, what about the other 250 in my program on the County level?
County Fair Concerns
County Fairs also have to be concerned with the quality of products that are sold to buyers at fair time
“4-H and FFA start at home and so does
Quality Counts!”
The Future of the Youth Livestock Show Program Depends on Us!
