The show will be held on a new day, Saturday July 20 at 2:00 p.m. in the New Holland Pavilion 2 – Showring B at the 2024 Dane County Fair. An afternoon of activities is planned for the participants starting with a mentor meet and greet with lunch at 12:00 p.m., followed by a mentor and show animal review session.
