The 76th Northeast 4-H Livestock Show was held in Brainerd, Sept. 18-19, playing host to the cream of the crop livestock in the northeast region of the state.
To participate in the show, 4-Hers must have received a blue ribbon at their county fair to be eligible to compete in this two-day show. The first day of the show focused on educational opportunities for youths to participate in relating to the species of animal they are interested in. The second day of the show highlighted the 4-Hers and their livestock in the species shows.
