This year we did something new for our Grand Champions, Reserve Champions, and Overall Showmen for the Large Animal Species. Each kid that won one of those awards was gifted a jacket with their respected award embroided in it.
We would like to say a HUGE Thank You to CountrySide Trophies & Awards for embroidering our jackets so fast so we were able to hand the jackets out to the kids on Friday and Saturday during fair.
Everyone loved their jackets!
