To be eligible to sell your market livestock at the Washington County Fair,
each exhibitor MUST complete TWO educationals and have the
proper document submitted by 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2025, to the Animal
Science Association. These submissions will be reviewed by the
superintendents of the project area, if there are any concerns the
superintendents will bring it before the sale committee for their review.
YQCA training/completion is required.
Requests must be made to the superintendents for any exhibitor who plans to do an online educational. This request must be made BEFORE completing it. Provide the superintendent with the name and link to the online educational. ALL REQUESTS FOR ONLINE EDUCATIONALS HAVE TO BE MADE BEFORE JUNE 1, 2025.
Being a team member of a LIVESTOCK JUDGING TEAM (4-H or FFA) will be accepted as an educational for 2024-2025. The coach and advisor must sign your educational form stating you participated on the team and at a competition (FFA qualifier counts as a competition).
All educationals will be emailed to wash.co.asa.1858@gmail.com.
