OSU Extension information

Quality Assurance is a state required training program for any 4-H or FFA member who is planning to exhibit market livestock at the 2015 junior fair (excluding rabbits). The Ohio State University Extension is hosting the first QA workshop in 2015 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds on Sunday, March 1, from 2 to approximately 4 p.m.

The gate on Washington Street will be closed and members will be asked to enter at the gate off of Balyeat Avenue. Members must register at the Junior Fair Building upon arrival the day of the event. Further instructions will be provided at that time.

Test-out will be offered at 1 p.m. that day in the Junior Fair Building for those eligible. The second and final QA offered in Van Wert County will be from 6:30 to approximately 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 23, with the test-out option starting at 5:30 that evening.
