Organizers for the 2013 Maverick County Junior Livestock Show are busy making preparations for the approximately 500 projects ranging from steers, hogs, goats and lambs. Sandra Ruiz, who is a member of the organizational committee, informed The News Gram that the event will be held from January 20th through the 26th at the Maverick County Fairgrounds. Admission is free. Hundreds of children and teenagers are preparing to show their projects and hoping to participate in the auctions. The MCJLS Queen Pageant will be held on January 20th at 3:00 P.M. The Traditional Cowboy Breakfast will be held on Tuesday, January 22nd at 8:00 A.M. where local dignitaries are invited to attend.
During the breakfast, a special dedication will be made for former event organizer, Jesus "Chuy" Sanchez, who at the end of last year lost his courageous battle with cancer and who was a mainstay in this event for decades. Ruiz and the organizational committee invite the entire public in general to attend the yearly event in support of all 4H and FFA students and their projects which they worked extremely hard on throughout the year.
