Alternative Stock Show Classic

“Bigger and better every year,” says Chelsea Shearer organizer of the Alternative Stock Show Classic (ASSC) held yesterday at the 2019 Klamath County Fair. The event partners 4-H and FFA members with those who have disabilities or special needs for an first hand education opportunity like no other.

In the ASSC 4-H and FFA members teach special needs adults and youth how prepare an animal for show and how to show the animal.

After a half hour of training, all competitors head to the show rings in the Stillwell arena to show their animal and compete for best showman or show woman.

“This is our fourth event,” said Shearer. “Each year it keeps getting bigger and bigger. We are even fielding calls from other clubs on how they can adapt a similar program at their fair.”
