The Charles Craig Classic is in Honor of the late Dr. Charles Craig who served as an Agriculture Instructor for many years in the Wasco Union High School District. During his time in service to the district, Mr. Craig overcame many obstacles that would have otherwise prevented students from experiencing hands-on learning. In his memory, the Wasco Agriculture Department continues to teach with hands-on opportunities for the students at Wasco High.

The Charles Craig Classic is hereby established as an annual event of the Wasco Ag Boosters, Wasco FFA Chapter, and Wasco High School Agriculture Department for the benefit of students in and around the city of Wasco who show interest in the livestock industry.

Born out of the pandemic, this show is a community event and is here to stay.
