NETLA Youth Market Show
Announces Dates & Activities

 

by: Bobby McDonald

 

It's January and time for everyone to be making plans for the upcoming Hopkins County NETLA Youth Market Show, where hundreds of local youth prepare animals for the show and sale, with hopes and aspirations of furthering their college dreams and learning valuable lessons in raising livestock.  We as the local businesses have an opportunity to support them in this effort in the Sale of Champions, as we plan our budgets for 2013.

"We ask everyone to consider these outstanding youth that are the future of our county, when they make their budget decisions for 2013," expressed Kevin Gibson, President of the local NETLA Organization. "We can't conduct this important endeavor for our county, without the support of local business, as they help the youth in preparing for their college educations and making a difference in their lives!"
