McKinley 4-H Exhibitor Feature – Jade Bracamonte

The Jr. Livestock Auction returns to in-person on Saturday, October 9 at 10 a.m. and October 16 at 9 a.m. and will feature goats, sheep, beef, swine, rabbits and poultry from dedicated and hardworking 4-H and FFA members throughout Fresno County.

 

Leading up to the auction, we’ll be featuring 4-H & FFA exhibitors from participating chapters to highlight their animal project and all their hard work, while also giving buyers and our community a glimpse of animals they can bid on!

 

Meet Jade Bracamonte, a McKinley 4-H student who is a 4th grader at Polk Elementary:

 

“Jade is a member of McKinley 4-H Club and is in the 4th grade at Polk Elementary. This is her third year in 4-H and her first year showing at the Fair. Jade got involved in 4-H after her first visit to the McKinley Farm. She immediately knew the goat project was for her and joined 4-H shortly after and purchased a meat goat to show as a Peewee. This year Jade has a Boer wether that she will be auctioning at The Fresno Fair.”

 

Help out these hard-working students in the community! Participate in the sale as a buyer or place an add-on bid! Every bit helps out these kids who’ve been working all year to get to where they are now. Buyer registration opens Monday, September 20.

Young the Giant to Perform at the 2021 Big Fresno Fair | October 7

Indie rock group, Young the Giant is going to take over the Paul Paul Theater Stage at the 2021 Big Fresno Fair on Thursday, October 7 as part of the Table Mountain Concert Series presented by Coors Light and Toyota! Ticket prices are $62, $52 and $47.

 

Young the Giant recently released their fourth album, “Mirror Master,” with sounds of a layered meditation on identity in modern life. “Mirror Master” arrives as a continuation of Young the Giant’s “Home of the Strange,” a 2016 album that found members shredding light on their shared experience as immigrants of first-generation Americans. Opening track and fan favorite “Superposition” swiftly climbed the Alternative Radio charts and eventually held the No. 1 position for multiple weeks. Along the way of their rise to fame, Young the Giant has headlined sold-out shows at venues such as The Forum, Radio City Music Hall, The Greek Theatre, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, in addition to making main stage appearances at music festivals such as Bottle Rock, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Governor’s Ball, and many more.

 

You don’t want to miss your chance to see Young the Giant as they perform top hits like “Superposition,” “Simplify,” “Cough Syrup” and more!
