This award is given in memory of Bonnie C

the fair board being involved with all aspects of the fair.

But her heart was always here in this barn, watching

young people gain knowledge and experience with their

livestock. She was always a avid supporter of the local

4-H and FFA . It is because of people like Mrs. Boothe

that this program is such a success.

The Bonnie C Boothe award will be given to a

youth that is the premier livestock exhibitor for the

week of the NRV Fair. Youth will receive points in the

following areas: Stockmans, Showmanship, and one of

the best class placings in each department. Youth are

award will be given at the conclusion of the Market

Lamb Show on Saturday.
