LA SALLE CO. - Applications are now being accepted for the 2019 LaSalle County Stockman’s Association Win-A-Show Animal Essay Contest. The contest is open to any LaSalle County 4-H member, LaSalle County FFA member, or resident exhibiting at the 2019 LaSalle County Junior Fair.
To apply, an applicant must write no more than a 350-word typed essay on the theme, “Why I Want to Win A Show Animal.” Applicants must be specific as to the species they are writing about, by choosing from the following: beef, swine, sheep or goat.
Each applicant must apply specifically to win one of the four species (beef, swine, sheep, or goat) and the winner will have their choice of either market animal or breeding stock from that species (to be determined by the winner and individual sponsor). The winner of each breed is required to Show their animal at either the 2019 LaSalle County Junior Fair or the 2019 Section 7 FFA Fair. No more than one species will be awarded to an individual in a year, therefore applicants must submit only one essay application. Individuals may only win a species one time.
The following breeders have donated the animals for the 2018 essay contest.
Applicants will need to submit their essay along with parent/guardian approval and a complete essay application form. In order to be judged, the applications will need to be postmarked no later than Monday, Oct. 15. Please submit applications to: LaSalle County Stockman’s Association, P.O. Box 853, Streator, IL 61364.
Winners of the essay contest will be announced at the 2019 LaSalle County Stockman’s Harvest Rewards Banquet on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Winners will be notified and must be present at the banquet to win.
