About
Our Mission
Supporting Webb County Youth
L.I.F.E. continues to serve the Webb County youth by fulfilling its mission of promoting the areas of agriculture, horticulture, home economics, and the vocational/industrial trades.
L.I.F.E
The Laredo International Fair & Exposition is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1963.
Educational Opportunities
Hands-On Learning at the Fairgrounds
The organization and the county fairgrounds serve as the central station for education camps aimed at training students to provide them with educational resources for their project to be presented at the County’s annual fair.
Partnering with Student Clubs
L.I.F.E. works closely with members of the different 4-H Clubs and high school Future Farmers of America (F.F.A.) clubs.
Student Projects
Livestock Exhibitions
Primarily, most students raise and show a livestock project which they dedicated an entire year to. Livestock projects include steers, goats, lambs, rabbits, swine, and poultry.
Showcasing Diverse Skills
However, to expose and prepare students in other career fields, students may also present a canning, baking, sewing, welding, woodwork, or art project through the Homemakers of America program and local art classes.
