NCBA Youth Activities
Sponsored by The Farm Credit System Foundation
Thursday, January 29 and Friday, January 30
This is truly “A New Day in the Sun” for the beef industry as the 2009 convention introduces a series of NCBA Youth Activities. The concept for youth activities originated with current NCBA President, Andy Groseta to draw in young people interested in the beef industry and engage them in critical association activities. For the first time, NCBA is encouraging youth attendance at the convention through youth competitions. Those youth competitions include:
Quiz Bowl
– Thursday, January 29
Public Speaking Contest – Thursday, January 29
Team Marketing Contest – Thursday, January 29
Cattle Judging Contest – Friday, January 30
All youth ages 9 and up are welcome to compete, see individual contest for age eligibility and rules.
Awards vary by contest, so youth are encouraged
to compete in more than one competition.
