This year (2021), QA will be offered virtually. At this time one in person date is planned for April 16th with more details to follow. If you cannot attend a virtual QA session listed, you will have one opportunity to follow requirements and attend the in person in April.
Sessions will be offered by species. You do not have to attend a specific species session if that does not work in your schedule, but please understand each session will be geared for the specific species listed. If you plan to exhibit multiple species, you will still only need to attend one QA session to fulfill the requirement for 2021.
These QA sessions will be limited to 40 unique emails. This means that as long as multiple family members can be seen engaging on the video of one device, only one email needs to be registered. We encourage families to use one device for the QA session.
Quality Assurance must be complete 45 days prior to exhibition at State fair/Holmes Co. fair.
