Fortu- nately the tents could be erected again and the show could go on. The show was well attended as 157 exhibitors from 14 counties vied for the top two places in 9 classes for showmanship and the animals plus other specialty awards. Members competed from the counties of Perth, Lambton, Chatham -Kent, Grey, Bruce, Huron, Wellington, Waterloo, Middlesex, Brant, Oxford, Essex, Dufferin and Elgin. The judge for the day was Stephanie Warner - Murphy of Hastings, Ontario. More was going on than just the competitions. Exhibitors, along with their families and supporters learned about different ways dairy farming is done, such as the speakers on Norwegian dairy farming, as well as there being ven- dors of related products on site. A benefit to the 4-H members, themselves, is the opportunity to learn from, mentor and befriend exhibitors and their sup- porters from other clubs whom they may not have otherwise had the chance to meet. The Lucknow 4-H Dairy Invitational Show committee would like to thank the exhibitors, sponsors, volun- teers and anyone else who made this event the success it was.
