The swine show is yet to come Aug. 7-16. More than 900 Ohio 4-H and FFA members will exhibit nearly 3,280 individual entries during the inaugural Ohio Youth Livestock Expo.
A group of nearly 50 volunteers are coordinating this effort, including raising tens of thousands of dollars, working with local health officials, implementing safety protocols, and providing an opportunity for kids to complete youth livestock projects that started, in some cases, almost a year ago.
