2007 Skillathon Information

All youth taking Beef, Dairy, Dogs, Goats (including Pygmy), Horses, Poultry, Rabbits, Sheep, or Swine projects are required to attend Skillathon.

Youth who are taking the same project they did in 2006 and were an “Outstanding Skillathon Youth” in 2006 in that project can opt out for 2007. If you were an “Outstanding Skillathon Youth” in 2006 and are taking a different species project than in 2006, you MUST attend Skillathon for the new project. Call the Extension office if you are opting out for 2007.

Team Skillathon replaces individual Skillathon. If you come as part of a team, you do not have to participate as an individual for the same species.
