The Trailblazers have been hard at work! They spent the last month collecting different canned food items that was donated to our local food pantry. Our 4-H agent, Mr. Alex Shook, also spent some time with us on Tuesday. He spoke about the upcoming MS State Fair and some of the different projects that are available for our 4-Hers!

Big changes and exciting improvements are coming as we modernize our nomination and entry process of livestock for the Mississippi State Fair, District, and Dixie National Junior Round-Up!

Beginning this show season, in addition to submitting paper nomination forms to Extension agents/FFA teachers, exhibitors must nominate all livestock online through Showman at https://showman.app/shows #/organizations/mississippi-state-extension/. You can also use the QR code on the graphic to access the nomination page.

The new nomination/entry process has three simple steps:
1️⃣ Submit paper nomination forms to your Extension agent or FFA advisor by September 1.
2️⃣ Exhibitors must nominate all animals online through Showman by September 4.
3️⃣ Exhibitors must enter their nominated animals for the Mississippi State Fair through Showman between September 7–18.

Most people know Showman as the place to find and enter livestock shows—but it offers so much more! Showman connects exhibitors with camps, clinics, and other educational opportunities that provide the tools they need to learn, prepare, and succeed before they ever enter the show ring.

Using Showman as the official entry portal for the Mississippi Youth Livestock Program will give families a clear and reliable place to find event information, register, and keep track of future opportunities for exhibitors.

The best exhibitors don’t just show up ready—they prepare on purpose. More and more, that preparation begins on Showman! We are excited to enter this new era of Mississippi livestock shows and create a simpler, more organized experience for our exhibitors, families, Extension agents, and FFA advisors!
