The Cleveland County Fairgrounds at Rison will be the venue for Cleveland County’s first “Backwoods Benefit Poultry Show” on March 3.
Doors will be open at 9 a.m. for the public to view the poultry and the judging. The concession stand will be open for breakfast and lunch. There will be a “for sale” floor open to the public to sell their birds for a nominal fee.
Proceeds from the show will benefit the education scholarships given by the Fair Association. Open Show awards, Junior Show awards and prize money will be given. There will be entries from a three-state area.
This poultry show is sanctioned by the American Poultry Association and the American Bantam Association.
The event is open to the public for viewing the poultry. The show will be entertaining and educational for all of the family, according to a spokesman for the event.
