Do you have a cute pet that you want to show off? Then you may want to consider entering your pet in the Clarion 4H virtual pet show.

The top five contestants from each category will be put on the 4H Facebook page and the pet with the most likes will be the winner.
Also, first-place trophies will be awarded in all classes in the memory of Sam Whitmore and winners will have their photo posted at the Clarion Fair.
