2023 is officially starting with a whimper… and an oink and a moo and many other noises as The Erath County Jr. Livestock Show is being held at the Erath County Livestock show grounds. Spectators and exhibitors have a lot more room to take in the show as this year’s events are being stage in the new show barn (next to the old barn), finished thanks to generous businesses and donors throughout the community.
The new facility features a larger ring, an indoor office and space enough for the awards and sale of champions to return to the show grounds Saturday night.
The schedule for the rest of this week is as follows:
