*****************

Some have asked us: "Where can we find sample questions used in the Skill-a-thon?"

The internet is a good resource.

The National Swine Registry offers lots of links and information and is home to the National Junior Swine Association, open to all youth with free membership. You can find them at www.nationalswine.com and click on NJSA.

*****************

The skill-a-thon, which will take place between check-in and the beginning of the shows, will involve educational SWINE questions.  We have not posted examples of showmanship or skill-a-thon questions since there is such a vast amount of information that could be covered.
