SPJST State Youth Showcase

Discover the remarkable talents of tomorrow’s leaders at the SPJST State Youth Showcase Saturday, July 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Frank W. Mayborn Civic & Convention Center in Temple. Admission and parking are free, and everyone is welcome. This family-friendly event features exhibits and live performances from talented SPJST youth, ages 4 to 18. Beginning at 9 a.m., enjoy singers, musicians, actors, comedians, and more during the Talent Competition. At 11:30 a.m., explore displays of LEGO® builds, paintings, photography, science projects, handcrafted items, sweet roll desserts, and other creative entries. Visitors can also support the young creators by purchasing handmade Christmas ornaments for $10 and pans of sweet rolls for $20 while supplies last. Every dollar from those purchases goes directly to the youth who created them. The afternoon concludes with the new SPJST Legacy Leaders Competition, where high school students compete for the titles of Mr. SPJST and Miss SPJST. The two winners become eligible for the prestigious SPJST Ambassador Scholarship Program and spend the next year leading service projects that strengthen communities across Texas. Whether you’re looking for an inspiring family outing or simply want to celebrate the incredible talents of local youths, the SPJST State Youth Showcase is the perfect place to spend the day. Come meet tomorrow’s leaders today!
