The West Liberty- Salem Livestock Judging Team placed 4th in the State Livestock Judging Contest this year! Contestants Sophia Hardwick, Izabella Meister, Owen Barger and Shyanne McClintick will be traveling to Massachusetts in September to compete on the National level at the Big E National judging contest! The Big E is an annual event that begins on the second Friday after Labor Day and runs for 17 days. Eastern States Exposition is home to the Fair. Its governing body is a volunteer Board of Trustees consisting of distinguished civic, business and agricultural leaders from each of the six New England states. Essentially, it is a six-state-State Fair.
These top individuals have worked extremely hard this year to win this fortunate opportunity! Please wish our WLS FFA General Livestock Judging Team good luck this fall at the BIG E!
