While a young program (no pun intended), having started in the late 1980's, the program is being adopted by more fair districts each year as we are able to show them that we have young people wanting to exhibit under the category of Grange Youth.
Some of our most successful programs are found in El Dorado County, Antelope Valley, San Fernando Valley, Amador County and Nevada County Fair Districts.
What categories can you show under? How about beef, sheep, swine, diary and market goats, rabbits, poultry, cavies, horse, pygmy goats, arts & crafts, horticulture, floriculture, textiles and whatever categories you wish to enter as long as your local fairs approve. You might also participate in the " Feature Booth " contest at your local fair. All Granges should have a " Grange Information Booth " if they do or do not have a GYF Program participating. This is a great way to let the public know we are still here and serve as a " Friend of The Farmer".
E-mail the State Grange Youth Fair Program Director for more information, or details on how you can learn more about this program, just click on the image to the left.
I've seen the buildings and heard people mention it.
But while we live in the country, we are not FROM the country and we do not farm
SO! (grin)
What's a Grange?
Thanks in advance. Tia
