The Wisconsin Holstein Association has made the decision to cancel its 2021 Junior Convention, which had already been postponed for later this spring due to the coronavirus. On Monday, the group released a statement saying they 'believed it was in the best interest of its membership to no longer host this event that traditionally has a large attendance of youth from across Wisconsin.'
"To find ways to keep juniors involved and recognize their accomplishments, the Junior Activities Committee and the WHA staff are working on a series of smaller, regional events for junior members later in the spring," said WHA Communications Director Mara Budde. "Event details will be shared once they are finalized."
Earlier last fall, organizers said the convention would be pushed back from early January to March 27-28 due to health safety concerns.
The Association's adult convention, slated for February 2021, has also been called off until 2022.
