The NCJLS 2024 All Star Show Project Showcase offers a unique experience

ROBSTOWN, Tx – The Nueces County Junior Livestock Show provided a unique opportunity for children with sensory issues and special needs at the Richard Borchard Fairgrounds.

The event took place Oct. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and gave Coastal Bend children the opportunity to do many fun activities in designated areas. There was an archery area with flat rubber ends for safety and volunteers to assist with guidance. In a certain section it was also possible to build birdhouses.

Many farm animals were on site for a get-to-know-you and welcome session. Horses, cows and rabbits were all on display and everyone could pet them or even feed some of them. Learn to lasso cattle figures or sit on their saddles.

“Seeing these kids and their smiling faces and having the time of their lives just warms our hearts,” said 4-H Ambassadors Cooper Green and Rylynn Frederick, “This show is so close to our hearts and hearts. “Getting so many hugs is just one of our favorite events.”

There will be another all-star show during the upcoming Nueces County Junior Livestock Show in January where children can show off a lamb or goat in the ring and get the showman experience. For more information about the NCJLS event, click here.
