Although it happened at a different time of the year and with quite a few modifications due to COVID-19, the Anderson County 4-H & FFA Sheep Show was held in mid-August.
Now in its 46th year, the sheep show is a long-standing tradition in Anderson County.
This year the event was especially important because exhibitors had fewer opportunities to showcase their project animals due to COVID-19.
