Congratulations to participants in the 22nd annual Colorado Dairy Youth Extravaganza.  73 youth from four states took part in the three day event, June 9-11, 2024 at Island Grove Park in Greeley. The event this year will be May 29-June 1, 2025.

Dairy Extravaganza Information

We encourage you to invite your dairy project friends to participate in this year’s event, the Dairy Costume Contest – check it out again this year! A $5/person “Cleaning Fee” will be charged this year. This helps offset a new expense we will incur this year – paying for the use of the skid loader and front-end loader used for cleaning the barn at the conclusion of our event.

Many participants stay overnight in the barn (professional security provided). Or, you can reserve a camper space on the fairgrounds (see General Information section) or stay in one of the many hotels in the Greeley in the Greeley/Evans area. Check out the following website for contact information: Greeley Chamber of Commerce.
