On this special Nevada County Fair edition of Insight, Tom Fitzsimmons broadcasts live from the KNCO and Star 94.1 gazebo at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. Tom speaks with Bear River High School agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Dylan Weddle, student exhibitors from Bear River and Nevada Union high schools and parents continuing generations of Nevada County Fair traditions.

The conversation explores FFA and 4-H livestock projects, agricultural education, the Nevada Joint Union High School District Ranch and the leadership skills students develop through animal care, public speaking and parliamentary procedure competitions. Students share their experiences raising market hogs and steers, balancing school and athletics, preparing for livestock shows and planning future careers in agriculture, education and healthcare. The episode also explains the Nevada County Junior Livestock Auction, buyer registration, online bump donations and the Ag Mechanics Auction. It is a celebration of Nevada County youth, local agriculture, hardworking fair families and the community members who invest in the next generation.
