Members are also being encouraged to make an educational display based upon animal health, parts of the animal, breeds of poultry, and industry facts these will be that displayed so 4-H Fair participants can also learn. On Friday, July 24 is Showmanship at 6 p.m. Showmanship is a knowledge based class where the members are evaluated by the judge on their knowledge of poultry parts, health, and animal husbandry. Members will be using chicken models that represent different breeds that would have been shown at the fair. Saturday, 25 is the Chicken Barbeque contest at 9:30 a.m. Egg Judging will be at 2 p.m. On Monday, July 27, the Backyard Chicken Seminars will be at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and
