WARSAW — Youth who were already experts in displaying animals had those skills challenged on Thursday, July 15, at the Kosciusko County Fair.
Nine exhibitors who were deemed master showmen this year in the categories of poultry, rabbits, goats, dairy calf feeder steer, dairy, horse and pony, swine, beef and sheep had to show all the other animals that they hadn’t been named master showmen for displaying.
After all the rounds were completed Thursday, Cameron Zimmerman was the winner.
Others competing included: Reese Rowland, Kendra Kline, Callie Holland, Colton Martin, Tucker Curtis, Harrison Stofer, Landon Bewley and Alyssa Swanson.
