Success For Local Youth

The 2020 Corona Classic was a successful day that took place because of volunteers from many communities. With fairs being cancelled due to COVID-19, restrictions left youth livestock producers without a place to showcase their livestock projects. Doug Knight of Knight Family Airport LLC had a vision with other community volunteers to help youth from the area showcase and sell hogs, beef, goats, and lambs. The event had 30 exhibitors weigh their animals in, a judge evaluated the animals on show in a market class, and the youth sold their projects in the afternoon to over 50 buyers that came out that day. It takes a village; and this event was a true testament of the Deer Park community and surrounding communities, with over 30 volunteers that donated their time and efforts for the event.
