The Little International Showmanship Contest was held on Saturday, August 13 at the Holmes County Fair. Junior fair exhibitors that won Grand or Reserve Grand Champion in Showmanship in a particular species had the chance to compete for Little International Showman by showing 10 different species. Since most junior fair exhibitors do not typically show all 10 animals, they are challenged to learn the species information and showmanship styles for each animal before the event.
