Give chicks FRESH sugar water

Collin County Junior Livestock Show
January 7-11, 2019
Myers Event Park
McKinney, TX
All students from Collin County come together to show against one another. The top 1/3 of all market animals will qualify for the sale. (Sale actually means: a chance to receiving a donation of money for the student. The animal will remain under the ownership of the student no matter placing.) MAKING THE SALE AT THE COLLIN COUNTY SHOW AND RECEIVING A CHECK IS NOT A GUARANTEE.
