LOVE ANIMALS? HAVE A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY? WE WANT YOU! REGISTER HERE!
WHAT IS IT?
Open Hearts Livestock Show is specifically designed to allow those in our community with developmental disabilities to show rabbits, goats, and/or pigs at this year’s fair without being obligated to own or purchase an animal!
WHO’S INVITED?
We are looking for community members ages 8 to 21* with developmental disabilities (DD) to participate.
THE GOAL.
The goal is to pair those with DD (the showman) to a 4-H mentor so they can compete in a friendly livestock show. A mentor will be with the showman all along the way – teaching them, helping them, and guiding them.
YOUR COMMITMENT.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Friday, May 16th
Practice #1(Goat Practice): Date To Be Announced
Practice #2(Pig Practice): Date To Be Announced
Practice #3(Rabbit Practice): Date To Be Announced
