There is
a new website for the county show (http://dclayf.net). Please visit the site so that you are current
on all entry deadlines. Don't forget
that your forms must be signed by your local 4-H Club Managers. A list of all eligible members was sent to
the DCLAYF Board prior to tag-in. The
same list was submitted to club managers for review.
The
Denton County Youth Fair (the " Fair") is organized for educational,
charitable and scientific purposes. The
Denton County Livestock Association (DCLA) uses the Fair to encourage and
promote the educational aspects of projects conducted by Denton County Youth
under the proper supervision and direction of a county extension agent, an
agricultural science teacher, a home economics teacher or an adult 4-H leader.
FFA,
FCCLA, and 4-H members entering the show agree to observe all rules of fair
competition reject the uses of drug or physical alteration of the livestock or
other exhibits, and to refrain from any action that would give an unfair
advantage over any other exhibitor.
The
purpose of the Fair and the DCLA is to provide an opportunity for FFA, FCCLA,
and 4-H members to exhibit their
projects in friendly, fair competition, to educate the public about agriculture
and related areas, and to provide for the development of knowledge and
responsibility by the participating youth.
Entry Deadlines
All
forms are due to Fulton's Metal and Hardware (3100 Fort Worth Drive, Denton,
Texas 76205) and must be signed by the designated 4-H Club Manager.
