2010 Park County Spring Classic
On behalf of the Park County Livestock Committee, we welcome you to the 2010 Park County Spring Classic. The 2010 Park County Spring Classic is an event that was put together for the youth of Park County 4-H by the Park County Livestock Committee. The purpose of this event is to give the kids the opportunity to build and practice their skills in grooming, showing and knowledge of their 4-H market animal projects through clinics and seminars provided on the weekend of June 12th & 13th. Another purpose is to let the kids and their families just have fun !
The other main purpose of this event was to put together an event that the 4-H youth would not have to provide fundraising or other contributions towards one single event. All fundraising and contributions have been made by the Park County Livestock Committee, local ranchers and businesses, residents and other organizations.
We thank all of the people and organizations for their support and sponsorship to the community and today’s 4-H youth. We would also like to thank the 4-H youth and their families for allowing us to put together such an event.
With Thanks
Park County Livestock Committee
