Livestock growers strong
supporters of youth
The Morrow County Livestock
Growers (MCLG) have always been
a strong supporter of youth in Mor
row County. Their latest donation of
$1,700 over the last two years was
to get new sheep panels built for the
fair. Last year about % of the sheep
were in metal panels; this year they
will all be in the new panels thanks
to the MCLG and the Morrow
County Fair Board who put 1,000
into the project last year.
The MCLG continue to sponsor
the sale and invite everyone out to
support the youth of Morrow
County.
