• We will be kicking off a media campaign soon and we have secured sponsors from all radio, cable and print media in the County - so keep your ears and eyes open!
• We are working hard to ensure we also have sponsors for the Virtual Auction. You should also be working hard contacting potential buyers.
• Animal Exhibitors may enter the show and not sell at the Auction.
• Market shows will be held the week prior to the Virtual Auction, with specific dates for each species to be announced soon.
• There will be no DNA or tags required for the livestock entered this year.
• As the time gets closer, we will send out a link for all Exhibitors to register for the show.
• Following the Virtual Auction, the animals will be delivered to a central location to be shipped to the harvesting facility.
• We are working on a way to enable animals to be donated to Food Share and we will let you know as the process is developed.
• There will still be a champion sale in the middle of the Virtual Auction.
• The last animal auctioned will be the Foundation Lamb. Applications were due June 1, 2020, however we are extending the deadline to June 15th, so get your application turned in if you have an extra lamb.
• All Exhibitors will still need to complete the YQCA program and email to Chris Garmon cgarmon@venturacountyfair.org. Proof of completion will also be required when registering for the show. Deadline August 1, 2020.
• If this is your first year, you can enter the Show and Auction and officially remain a novice for showmanship at the fair next year.
• Please follow 805Agkids on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to see what we are doing. A new website 805AgKids.com will also be live soon as a resource for important information.
