To The Leader
The Orange County Livestock Show Association will host a livestock show and auction for the FFA and 4H youth Orange County Friday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 13 at the T2 Arena 3810 Old Peveto Road in Orange.
OCLSA is very thankful to Chad Havens of T2 Arena for inviting OCLSA to have the event at his arena. The facilities and barn in Mauriceville have not been repaired since Hurricane Harvey. The organization continues to rebuild the facilities for future events there.
These students are involved in either FFA within their schools or a member of a 4H Chapter in Orange County. They will be showing their animals in hopes of placing their projects in the sale auction that evening scheduled for 7:00 pm Saturday, October 13th
We invite area business and individuals to be buyers for these animals at the live auction to be held at 7:00 pm on Saturday night. Your generous participation supports agriculture and leaders for tomorrow. Buyers will be treated to a world-class Bar B Que dinner hosted by the Go Texas Bar B Que teams and the OCLSA.

The purpose of the Orange County Live Stock Show Association shall be to provide and encourage leadership in the youth of Orange County through FFA and 4H Clubs as well as other organizations.
The goal of the OCLSA is to build an ole fashion County Fair in conjunction with the livestock show. Simple contests such as baking, canning, Best Vegetable from Garden, flower arranging and others are what we would like to bring to this fall festival. Even a sack race, a pie-eating contest would round out this event with a lot of fun. Come out and help us grow this Fall Festival and Livestock show. We invite other clubs or groups to come out and see what we are about and maybe you would like to participate next year.
