Come check them out at the dairy shows. We will have a Youth and an Open Dairy Show during the fair. The Youth Show will be held on Tuesday, June 16 at 10 a.m. and is open to Shelby County Youth only. On Tuesday night, Shelby County Dairy Club members will have a Costume Contest for the Dairy Cattle. It is a fun and exciting event for the family to watch.
