The MYLE Show is open to all Minnesota youth between the ages of 5-21 years old as of January 1, 2023, including all Minnesota 4-H and FFA members.
The MYLE Handbook with complete rules, entry information and other details for the 2023 MYLE Show is now available online at: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/d6a268dc/jkPwsMh-70SNcm2EMk4k-A?u=https://issuu.com/stephcronin/docs/mnyouthexporules2023final2?fr=sMGY2YTk3ODg
The entry deadline for the MYLE Show for all species is May 31, 2023, with late entries accepted until June 7 at a higher entry fee. All MYLE entries will take place through an online entry system. The MYLE entry form and other information on the MYLE Show are available on the MYLE website at: www.mnyouthlivestockexpo.com.
Minnesota 4-H and FFA members, as well as other eligible youth in Minnesota, are eligible and are encouraged to participate in the MYLE Show. Youth may enter multiple animals in each species. Kent Thiesse, MYLE Show Coordinator indicates that the MYLE Show is held in late June and early July to serve as opportunity for youth to show their livestock prior to County Fairs, most of which are held in July and August, as well as a statewide livestock showcase prior to the Minnesota State Fair in late August.
Thiesse indicates that in order to adequately cover the show expenses and to be able to provide awards and prize money to the youth exhibitors in the MYLE Show, the show organizers must rely on donations and sponsorships from businesses and individuals. Several generous donations have already come in to support the 2023 MYLE Show, but many more are needed. More information on the MYLE sponsorships and donations is available on the MYLE website at: www.mnyouthlivestockexpo.com.
A special online auction will be held on Wednesday May 31 to raise funds for the 2023 MYLE Show. The online auction will be held through SC Online Sales. Watch for details regarding the MYLE Online Auction, as well as a list of sale items at the following lnk: Â https://www.sconlinesales.com/
