SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP: The Georgia-Carolina State Fair has given top priority to agriculture since the Fair was first held in 1923. It continues to do so this year, and it always will. We emphasize the youth of our community, and we are proud or their accomplishments. Each year the Augusta Exchange Club awards one or two special scholarships to High School Seniors with good grades and participation in at least two Georgia-Carolina State Fairs.

 In the Livestock Barn, the animals are fed and groomed for the competition. The youth of the CSRA who compete here take care of their animals as you can see here.
This young lady has gotten her animal ready for judging. She has washed, dried, brushed, combed, and soothed her animal to present her to the judges. She is now in the arena in the Senior Showmanship category.
|
 As you can see here, competition is keen as they show their animals. Keeping the animal content during the competition requires constant attention to detail, while making sure the animal stays under control, especially while the judge is watching. These young ladies were all awarded ribbons for their efforts. The Blue Ribbon went to Miss Elizabeth Holmes, on the far right in this picture.
|
 Owning a beautiful animal is not enough; loving the animal and knowing about the animal is critical. When a boy or girl shows an animal, it becomes apparent to the judge very quickly that the child and the animal know, love, and respect each other. When they get along with each other, showmanship is a lot easier. Look closely at this picture and you will see a caring child and a calm heifer. It pays off in the long run.
|
 This proud lady, Karaleigh Holmes, had just had the priviledge of seeing her daughter Elizabeth win the Senior Showmanship Award, after a long session in the arena. She then went into the arena herself and took the Blue Ribbon in the Mothers' Walk.
|
 In the Senior Showmanship class, these teens show how well they have raised their swine, but demonstrate how well they can show them. They are to be commended for their long-term efforts to agriculture.
|
 This young lady pays close attention to the judge as he discusses with her what he is looking for as she shows her pig. She was rewarded with a ribbon for her showmanship.
|
| In addition to the fun the youth of this community have to showing their steers and swine, they have taken to raising and showing goats. It is heart-warming to see how these young people learn life skills as they raise, care for, and show their prized goats. |
 Here, Miss Miah Johnson, smiles as she shows her prize goat in the Weight Class I competition. Not only does it take skill in showing the animal, but months of raising and caring for the goat has preceded the time in the arena.
|
 In Weight Class II, the competition includes younger and older competitors showing their animals. Here Wyatt Chandler took 3rd Place, Courtney Boone took 2nd Place, and Bella Brook Chandler took 1st Place.
|
 Whether you are young or old, big or small, you can still win at the Georgia-Carolina State Fair Livestock Competition. Little Miss Bella Brook Chandler has grown up with a prized goat, showed it well, and taken home the Blue Ribbon.
|
 In this picture of the 2009 Beef Show as part of the Livestock competition at the Georgia-Carolina State Fair, these young menproudly show their beautiful black steers in the Senior Showmanship Category.
|
 The Senior Showmanship Division in the Beef category was a large class that required splitting the entries for the judge to review. This young lady paid close attention to the judge as he carefully looked over her steer. It is close attention to detail, not only in how the animal looks, but in how it is handled, that makes a winner.

This year two Scholarship Awards were given. One award went to Miss Caitlyn Frost for the fine work she has done at home and in school in the field of agriculture. She is a high school senior from Wrightsville, Georgia, where she has a 4.0 grade point average. She has applied to the University of Georgia where she plans to study animal science and hopes to eventually enter the School of Veterinary Medicine.
The other Scholarship Award went to Miss Brandi Royal, a high school senior from Sylvania, Georgia. She has a 2.6 GPA and plans to attend East Georgia College or Georgia Southern University and study animal science. She wants to earn a Masters Degree in her chosen field.
The Augusta Exchange Club believes in the youth of our community, and we want to do everything we can to help. We are proud to award these scholarships to such deserving young people. Congratulations to each of you for earning this award. Keep up the good work. |
