California Department of Food and Agriculture, Fairs and Expositions requires all livestock exhibitors to complete the Youth for the Quality Care for Animals Program. In order to participate in a youth livestock program at any California Fair, all exhibitors 9 years of age and older must obtain annual certification in the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) program. Those not certified are not eligible to participate at a California Fair. NO EXEPTIONS
To meet this state requirement. Agricultural universities as well as partners in the agriculture industry designed this program. YQCA courses are age and level specific which allow for changing content each year. The program is offered online at https://yqcaprogram.org/ All registration, fees, and certifications are managed through YQCA.
The YQCA program has many benefits to exhibitors:
- Increase the educational preparedness of exhibitors
- Adds another layer of quality assurance to improve sportsmanship, animal wellbeing and food safety for animal purchasers.
- Helps demonstrate our commitment to the educational development of exhibitors.
- Provides a nationally available program that any youth exhibitor can access.
This program is becoming nationally recognized so by adopting this program it also allows exhibitors to use this certification for showing at other fairs besides Stanislaus County Fair, such as the California State Fair.
Upon completion of the training, exhibitors will receive a certificate with a unique certification number. Exhibitors can email or print their certificate for show entries. Show managers will be able to utilize the public interface through YQCA to verify the exhibitors certificate number.
All exhibitors ages 9 and older (excluding horses, cavies, and dogs) must have completed the YQCA certification by June 15th. Without the YQCA certificate number your entry will not be complete and thus will be ineligible to show at the fair

In Nashville, before anyone ever referred to the southern end of Broadway as SoBro, the Hillsboro Village neighborhood boasted Sunset Grill, a restaurant that during the 1990s proved as integral to Nashville recorded music as other metropolitan eateries that over the years became legendary hubs for creative businesses in New York and Los Angeles. It was a sprawling and long-lunchy and late-dinnerish breadbaskets-and-virgin-olive-oil thing.

THE YEAR WAS 1969…
In 1991 a group of 4 young street hardened boys by the name of B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e used their musical talents to obtain one way bus tickets to make their way out from the rough city of Cleveland, Ohio. They headed out to Los Angeles and were determined to perform for the top record labels at the time. They constantly called in to prove themselves. Their efforts paid off when they rapped over the phone to legendary N.W.A. member, Eazy E, who owned Ruthless Records. They displayed their melodic rapid fire lyrics with group harmony.
Everything continues to change. Leaders cycle in and out of office. Trends fall in and out of style. Vinyl dies and comes back to life. Television shows go off the air and end up somewhere on the internet.
Dedicating nearly his entire life to music and achieving superstardom when he was just 17, Sean Kingston has amassed an untold amount of experience as a singer/songwriter over the years. On his third-full length album Back 2 Life, the 23-year-old builds on that experience by greatly expanding his songwriting role, nixing the multi-producer approach of his last release, and pushing for a fresh new sound. Like his 2007 self-titled debut (featuring the double-platinum breakout hit “Beautiful Girls”) and sophomore album Tomorrow (featuring the smash singles “Fire Burning” and “Face Drop”), Back 2 Life fuses reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and electro to create melody-soaked pop. But on Back 2 Life, the singer/songwriter blends his newly strengthened vocals with fiercely inventive effects and hard-hitting live instrumentation—a formula that’s yielded his most passionately inspired work to date.
2022 is upon us. Another fresh new reset of the month odometer!
