Fallbrook FFA outlines livestock show schedule and asks community to attend San Diego County Fair
Summary
Members of the Fallbrook FFA presented their schedule and activities for the San Diego County Fair, describing animal move-in, weigh-ins, showmanship and livestock auction dates and encouraging community attendance.
Fallbrook FFA student leaders presented a calendar of events for their participation in the San Diego County Fair, inviting community support for shows, auctions and related activities.
Why it matters: The FFA program involves students in agricultural education and community fundraising through the livestock auction; community buyers support student projects and local food banks.
Student leaders Gunnar Wiesner (FFA president) and Jonah Collins (treasurer) outlined a day-by-day schedule for the fair: trailer loading and move-in starting Saturday, livestock move-in and veterinary checks on Tuesday with weigh-ins beginning at 2 p.m., market sheep and goats showing on Wednesday, beef and swine showmanship on Thursday, additional showmanship and market events Friday and Saturday, and the livestock auction and awards the following Sunday with an award ceremony beginning at 7:30 a.m. The students explained that "market" classes judge animals for suitability for consumption and that "showmanship" evaluates how well the student presents the animal.
They asked the community to attend the San Diego County Fair, support FFA buyers and noted programs often solicit buyer letters from local businesses. The board acknowledged the report; no board action was recorded.
