3 FORWARD The Payne County Fair Board presents to you the 2019 show program for the Payne County Junior Livestock Show. The rules contained herein, in most instances, are a result of individual or group recommendations through the years. To present a show schedule and a listing of rules that are without error and to the satisfaction of every exhibitor is a challenge. Assisting with the management and interpretation of the show's rules are a group of volunteers who serve as superintendents. The Fair Board is indebted to these people for their dedication to Payne County's 4-H and FFA members. Please say "thanks" to these people for their time and interest. The purpose of the Jr. Livestock Show is to provide county 4-H and FFA members the opportunity to compare their abilities for selection, care, and management of their livestock projects. Included in this training process are parents, leaders, and teachers. Livestock projects are simply tools being used to train young people to be tomorrow's leaders. Misrepresentation of any nature, may be a detour that leads to a dead end. Please join us in conducting an educational event that permits good clean competition that ends with a friendly handshake and a smile. Let's have a good show. -Payne County Fairboard Every exhibitor, parent or legal guardian, Ag Teacher, or 4-H Leader MUST sign an affidavit that they understand the rules of the Payne County Jr Livestock Show.
