53The Relationship between Quality Counts and the
local County Fair
54Where does it start?
- Quality Counts starts at home (At your local or
regional shows)
55In Fort Bend County
- 350 4-H members participate in livestock projects
at Local and County shows
56Major Shows
- 100 of those exhibitors, exhibit at the major
shows
State Fair of Texas
57Question
- If Quality Counts is just for major show
exhibitors, what about the other 250 in my
program on the
County level?
58County Fair Concerns
- County Fairs also have to be concerned with the
quality of products that are sold to buyers at
fair time
594-H and FFA start at home and so does
Quality Counts!
60The Future of the Youth Livestock Show Program
Depends on Us!
