During the sheep show, any youth ages 4 to 2nd grade can try the Little Shepherd Show, a new opportunity for younger kids to show a lamb. Also, youth in Kindergarten to 2nd grade can do the Goat Kid Classes after the goat show. This is an opportunity for kids to try showing a goat during the fair. In the Open Division, they have flowers at 4pm and food at 4pm.

Also, no dogs are allowed at the Clark County Fairgrounds during the fair. To help keep everyone safe and ensure the health of our livestock, dogs are not allowed on the Clark County Fairgrounds during the fair.

Exceptions include dogs entered in the official dog show and trained service animals assisting a person with a disability. They kindly ask that all other pets be left safely at home.
