2024 GJLF Expo Partnership Packages

The Board has never wavered, and won’t going forward, from its mission of supporting the youth livestock program in the State of Georgia. To further these efforts and reach the goal of doing more for our youth, the Foundation is continuing the GJLF Expo Livestock Show! The GJLF Expo is a continued effort of the Jackson County Young Farmers Association Showring Showdown that was started many years ago with a swine show and eventually grew to a swine and cattle show. The Foundation took over the show in 2022 as a fundraising effort and found much interest in holding a multi-species event that would encompass the interest of all junior livestock exhibitors. The GJLF Board has been working hard in planning the 2024 Expo and we are excited about the opportunities for this event as it grows. We hope you will continue your partnership with the Foundation, perhaps in an expanded way!

For additional information or to become a partner please contact Keaton Walker at 229-921-6944.
