LIVESTOCK AWARD SPONSORSHIP

We are Introducing a NEW Livestock Award Sponsorship approach this year. Seize the opportunity to become a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Sponsor for one or multiple species that you wish to support. Additionally, there are a limited number of buckle sponsorships available.

Over the years, we have had individual sponsors listed for each award given to livestock exhibitors. With the growth of our shows, this has become a monumental task to manage. In addition, it creates a bit of last-minute stress if there are any divisions split, added, or removed after entries are completed. Also, the costs of ribbons, banners, and physical awards fluctuate each year and tend to go up at a higher rate than the award sponsorship revenue! The fair strives to obtain quality awards and a variety of awards for our exhibitors; this new program will make it easier for us to do this while giving you as the sponsor appropriate recognition! We also want you to be rest assured that sponsors will still receive a thank you from exhibitors. We have a couple of special plans in store to make that happen!

As a sponsor, your name or company will be prominently displayed in the livestock area and announced during shows and awards ceremonies. Your recognition will also extend to next year's handbook. If you would like to make a sponsorship in memorial of someone, that information can also be included in your sponsorship form, and will be displayed with your or your company's name. Join us in supporting exhibitors' projects and acknowledging their dedication at the Madera District Fair Junior Livestock Show!


LEVELS:

BRONZE: $100
SILVER: $250
GOLD: $500
PLATINUM: $1000

YQCA TRAINING

In order to participate in a youth livestock program (excluding horse, cavies & dogs) at any California Fair, all exhibitors 9 years of age and older must obtain annual certification in the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) program or a comparable fair run program approved by the California Department of Food and Agriculture, Fairs and Expositions Branch. Those not certified through a youth education certification program on the issues of animal welfare, food safety and character education are not eligible to participate at a California Fair. Madera Fair has opted to require Mini Member exhibitors younger than 9 to take the YQCA training as well.
