Both youth and volunteer leaders attended workshops in different judging areas and were allowed to us a hands on approach to practice skills gained during lecture. The workshops also involved many activities focusing on communication, leadership, and team building skills. Also, youth were involved in learning how to judge many different contests during the months of May, June, and July. Contest practices were held several times a week and included, livestock judging, meats judging, horse judging, crops judging, entomology, and parliamentary procedure.
