Let the show begin
By Nathan Straus News Reporter

It's time again for the 49th annual Henderson County Livestock Show. The show, where school kids from around the county take the projects they've been working on all year and present them to judges, began Monday, March 24.

At the livestock show, kids make presentations involving animals and shop projects. Animals up for judging range from dairy cattle and horses to market and breeding lambs and breeding rabbits.
