We are all saddened by the cancellation of the 2020 Wisconsin State Fair and the resulting cancellation of the 2020 Governor's Blue Ribbon Livestock Auction and Camp of Champions. We were, however, able to conduct our annual scholarship program on-line and we received a record 54 scholarship applications! We will be awarding $30,000 to 26 recipients in the form of five $2,000 scholarships, six $1,500 awards, seven $1,000 scholarships, and eight $500 scholarships. These scholarships recognize the achievements of Wisconsin State Fair Junior Livestock exhibitors and assist them with their educational expenses.Typically our annual scholarships would have been funded by auction sales and animal donations from our generous buyers.
