Official Statement From The Oklahoma Youth Expo

Since the start of the 2020 Oklahoma Youth Expo, balancing the continuation of our event while prioritizing the health and safety of our exhibitors and their families has been our top concern. In consultation with county health officials late this afternoon, a State of Emergency was announced in Oklahoma City by Oklahoma City Mayor, David Holt.

As a result of the state of emergency and in the public’s best interest, we are cancelling the remainder of the 2020 Oklahoma Youth Expo as of Sunday evening, March 15, 2020.

The Oklahoma Youth Expo has been the centerpiece for Oklahoma agriculture for 105 years. Having to close our doors early is extremely difficult for all exhibitors and their families along with our staff.

We look forward to the 2021 Oklahoma Youth Expo where The World’s Largest Junior Livestock Show will continue to inspire and encourage the development of key skills like leadership, a strong work ethic and problem solving, which helps 4-H and FFA members reach goals far beyond the showring.
