[QUOTE="DLD, post: 1142992, member: 19707"] I've heard it for years from Texas families that show there... Yeah, I know, but it's definitely the impression that many exhibitors and their families are, or at least were under. They may know that the scholarship money goes all over, but are still unhappy that it's being used to benefit youth other than exhibitors, so it's the point they choose to gripe about. My own son got a nice scholarship from the Tulsa State Fair, and we're very grateful for that. But they don't keep enough of their premium sale money to fund those scholarships (we've been fortunate enough to be in that premium sale), and only youth that have participated in the fair in some capacity are eligible for those scholarships - same goes for OYE. I understand your point of view, but you need to understand that many exhibitors and their families and others that support your show feel that monies raised in a premium sale for junior livestock exhibitors should be spent only for the benefit of junior livestock exhibitors. You don't have to agree with it, but it is how many people feel about it. [/QUOTE]
