Reflecting back on our show from earlier this month, there are so many to thank! Starting with our dedicated and hard working board at GGAHA, our volunteers, our exhibitors, the fairgrounds personnel in particular Kevin and Jennifer, our sponsors, our vendors, our show officials Dan and Juan, our announcers, photographer, trainers, and last but not least judge, Jeff Schall. We had so many positive comments regarding Jeff - his engagement with our exhibitors, his positivity and feedback. We are grateful for your many valued contributions to our show. To Juan for your professionalism - always willing to pitch in wherever needed. To Dan, for keeping us on track and managing our changes with grace and humor. To Kelly for capturing key, precious memories for our participants with your talent and lens. To Margaret and Robin - for your work in the show office to ensure entries and results were processed efficiently and that exhibitors were provided what they needed all day long. To Rob, Abigail and Gary for your announcing help. Rob also helped with many, many other tasks, as needed, both set up and break down. To Bryn who organized the barn charts and prizes, greeted exhibitors, and managed a wide variety of tasks. To Hannah who did a great job with upfront tasks such as vendor coordination, sponsorships, social media posts and premium input. To Lisa, who helped with banner production, fundraising and premium compilation. To Alicia, who pitched in wherever needed and helped bridge relations with the local farms to garner support for our show. To Susan and Tracey who helped us manage prizes - we are grateful you continue to show up to support our show. Our team is lean but collaborative - each participant understanding they bring value to the collective. I'm so thankful to know each and everyone of you. It's what keeps our club and this show going, growing and moving forward. Looking forward to 2025!
