Plans are just about complete for the annual Buckingham county Junior Farm Show. Those planning the event are lining up commercial exhibits and an evening show for the first time in the history of the Junior Farm Show. Thus far commercial exhibits have been planned by Buckingham Farm Supply, Nelson Tindall Equipment Co., Vepco, Seay Milling, Rocco Feeds, and P. M. Jones Sons. This is not a complete list and many others are expected reported Gordon Baldwin, Buckingham's Vo-Ag instructor. There will also be commercial exhibits for the various homemaking departments. All exhibits for the participating 4-H, FFA and FHA boys and girls must be at Buckingham Central high school by 9 a. m., September 21. The judging will be done in the morning, said Baldwin, and should be completed by noon. The public is invited from noon until 4 p. m. and also for the evening show. The exhibits may be seen starting at 7 p. m. that evening. The evening show will feature a dress revue, music by the school band, and the awarding of prizes for exhibits as well as door prizes for the guests.
A favorite with the boys is the tractor driving contest, which will be held in the morning at 10 a. m. All exhibits must be bona fide 1956 projects of FFA, FHA or 4-H club members, except the flower exhibits.
