Every August, the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds come alive with the sights and sounds of the 4-H/FFA Livestock Show and Sale—a tradition that not only showcases the hard work of local youth but also weaves together the fabric of a rural community. In a recent episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael sat down with a panel of participants and organizers to pull back the curtain on what it takes to prepare for this beloved event. Among the guests was Maggie Eaton, a seasoned 4-H participant and current program assistant, who reflected on her final year of eligibility. “I just wanted to continue being involved with 4-H and the fair,” she shared, emphasizing the sense of belonging and purpose the program provides. Alongside her were Brant Kibler and Riley Smith, both youth representatives eager to share their experiences raising and showing animals ranging from lambs and steers to pigs and dairy cows. Brant, who's been showing lambs since 2020, described the meticulous care and training required, while Riley offered a glimpse into the daily routines and the unique bond formed with her dairy cow. The conversation, guided by Shenandoah County 4-H program manager Carol Nansel, delved into the logistics of the show, from the parade of animals to the much-anticipated auction. Carol highlighted the growing participation—over 150 exhibitors this year, including 23 first-timers—and the life skills gained through the program: time management, financial literacy, and community engagement. “You don't have to live on a farm to be part of 4-H,” she noted, pointing to initiatives like the dairy lease program that open doors for all interested youth. Beyond the blue ribbons and scholarship funds, the show and sale represent a rite of passage for many, teaching resilience, responsibility, and the value of local agriculture. Whether you're a seasoned exhibitor or a curious newcomer, the Shenandoah County 4-H & FFA Livestock Show and Sale is a testament to the enduring power of community and the promise of youth.
