Dates for the 2010 Jackson County Junior Livestock Show have been set for Feb.26 – March 1.

Walter Treadwell serves as Chairman of the Livestock Show Action Group and Anita Gifford serves as General Superintendent of the Show. This is the 66th year for this youth agriculture related educational program sponsored by your Altus Chamber of Commerce.

The overall purpose of the show is to highlight agriculture and provide a forum for the youth of our county to look at agriculture as a career choice. These students spend many hours raising their animals, keeping records and then showing them.

The Show Catalog is available at the chamber office and also by accessing our website www.altuschamber.com. The Premium Auction will be held on Monday, March 1. United Supermarkets will again prepare all the food for the Bidder’s Barbecue starting at 4:30 p.m. Barbecue tickets have been sent to all former bidders of the Premium Auction. All chamber members are encouraged to attend, stop by the chamber office to pick up your tickets to the barbecue. All activities will be held at the Jackson County Expo Center.

Judges for the show this year are:
