Bandera Electric Cooperative donates to Junior Livestock shows
By Kati Fitzpatrick
Communications Specialist, Bandera Electric Cooperative
Bandera Electric Cooperative is proud to announce its continued support for local youth and agriculture education by contributing a total of $21,000 to various Junior Livestock shows in the region.
BEC, a longstanding advocate for community development and youth empowerment, has allocated $6,000 each to Bandera County, Kendall County and Real County Junior Livestock Shows. Additionally, the cooperative has extended its support to Uvalde County with a donation of $3,000, marking its inaugural participation in the Uvalde County Junior Livestock Show on Jan. 27.
For years, BEC has actively participated in and supported Junior Livestock Shows in Kendall County, Real County, and Bandera County. This year's expansion into Uvalde County demonstrates BEC's commitment to fostering the growth and development of youth in diverse communities.
Junior Livestock shows play a crucial role in instilling values such as work ethic, discipline, and responsibility in children. In rural areas like ours, where agriculture is a way of life, encouraging the passion for agriculture among young minds becomes imperative for the betterment of their future.
At the recent shows, BEC was represented by dedicated individuals who are integral to the cooperative's mission.
Bandera County's event on Jan. 13 featured the presence of District 2 Director Fran Laue, who represented BEC and presented the High Point Winner award to Kytlin Peterson, a senior at Medina.
BEC takes pride in supporting its members and their children, understanding that investing in the development of the youth today contributes to a brighter and more resilient community tomorrow.
