Columbia Basin Junior Livestock Show
Mission Statement:
To provide opportunities for the positive development of youth through
-Improvement of their life skills
-Education about livestock production and marketing
-Challenges to help educate others from their awareness
-Exposure to business leaders, market supporters, and show volunteers
History:
Early in 1995, groups of business people, livestock producers, and parents began actively preparing the foundation for an exhibition venue to promote the development of local youth in agriculture. Interim efforts reflect the acquisition of a quality show location, ground developments, and basic expansion of organizational support. The sole source of revenue to operate and maintain the growth of this project has relied on private funding through donations and sponsorships from businesses and individuals in the Columbia Basin Community.
