ADDITIONAL SHOW OPPORTUNITIES (no excused absence request):
There are some additional opportunities associated with this Stock Show (including the Open Show & Youth Longhorn Show Opportunities); however, we are NOT able to request an excused absence for participation in these opportunities since they do not require youth participants to be a 4-H/FFA member. We are happy to send a letter of support to your school if you choose to participate, but it will be up to the school to decide how to handle your absence. Please let us know if you have any questions about this.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES:
- Other opportunities can be found on the County Calendar – registration information should be included for each post.
- Other Contest related opportunities can be found on the Judging Card Calendar – to sign up for these opportunities, please contact Mellanie at [email protected] or at 512-581-7186
That’s all for now! Have a great week and let us know if you have any questions!
