Changes in place for this week’s Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show

into different locations.
(Guadalupe County) – Plan B is now in full effect for this year’s Guadalupe County Youth Livestock and Homemakers Show. Following the city of Seguin’s decision in December to cancel all events at its city facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, youth show committee members say they had no choice but to find an alternate location to host the various events for the weeklong contest. Up until this year, the youth show and auction have been held at the Guadalupe County Fairgrounds.
“Our rabbits, goats and poultry, lambs and steers will all show at the Country Church in Marion. They have a big arena and we have set up a plan for all of them to share that arena for the week. The other animal is the swine and because of the number of swine entries, we had to move that show to La Vernia Chamber of Commerce. They host their own show, so they already have the facilities in place, the right around of pens that kind of stuff. They host two shows. They have a breeding show and then they have a market show and it’s at two separate days and two separate times and that’s the reason we had to move them because of the size of the show,” said Reiley.
