MD 21221 Dear Welcome to the 52nd Annual Eastern National Livestock Show, the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, and Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District. The Eastern National Livestock Show plays an important role in the region as well as in our nation’s agricultural industry. What began 52 years ago, as a place where livestock, en route to stockyards, was unloaded from stock trains, judged, and reloaded, has evolved into a renowned national competition. C The Eastern National Livestock Board, a group of dedicated volunteers, works diligently throughout the year to offer three distinct categories of competition. The 4-H category offers young people an opportunity to show a full year of dedicated hard work, thereby teaching them skills to last a lifetime. Students in the collegiate category demonstrate their expertise which could lead to future careers in the agricultural industry. Adults participating in the open category share in the excitement of possibly becoming a grand champion. With all the visitors and local folks coming together, the 52nd Annual Eastern National Livestock Show is sure to be a wonderful experience and a great success! Thank you for coming to this year’s show, and enjoy the next several days. Very truly yours, C Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. Member of Congress
