Not only does the Tulsa State Fair Livestock Shows provide our youth and opportunity to advance their knowledge and careers, but at the same time teach virtues such as hard work, dedication, responsibility, loyalty, pride, and teamwork which prepare them for any future endeavor. The Tulsa State Fair is committed to providing today's youth an opportunity to seek a future in agriculture and promoting continued education.
According to the Tulsa State Fair website, $610,000 was raised for Oklahoma youth in 2015. We expect that later today, the Premium Sale lineup will be available online at the Tulsa State Fair website- click here for the section on the Junior Livestock Show Auction.
