Mission Statement:

History:

Early in 1995, groups of business people, livestock producers, and parents began actively preparing the foundation for an exhibition venue to promote the development of local youth in agriculture.  Interim efforts reflect the acquisition of a quality show location, ground developments, and basic expansion of organizational support.  The sole source of revenue to operate and maintain the growth of this project has relied on private funding through donations and sponsorships from businesses and individuals in the Columbia Basin Community.
