The North Carolina Mountain State Fair is proud to present the 15th annual Very Special Livestock Show—a heartwarming tradition that highlights the talent, passion, and agricultural spirit of individuals with special needs. This unique show was created to celebrate and recognize the enthusiasm and abilities of participants who may not always have the same opportunities in traditional competitions. With the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, families, and community partners, the Very Special Livestock Show has grown into a cherished event that embodies the inclusive spirit of the Fair. We invite you to join us in honoring these remarkable exhibitors and the joy they bring to the barnyard!
