On the first day of fair, steer exhibitors Faith Berger, Farrah Berger, Ella Humphrey, and Hannah Kibler began to welcome teachers, coaches, principals, and more into the steer barn. An event created by the Farm Bureau, gave schools an inside look into the life of an exhibitor at our county fair.

One of the most anticipated days of the year, the Market Steer Show. Every emotion was witnessed in the barn on this day, happiness, nervousness, excitment, and more. The exhibitors worked very diligently to prep their animals for the show to present to our judge, Jenna Barbour. 

Congratulations to our Grand Champion, Larissa Fano, and Reserve Champion, Kamryn Kiko!

Another anticipated day of the year where everyone brings their game faces. The competition was hot, as each exhibitor gave it their all. From Seniors to Bantam each person showed their steer to their best. 

Congratulations to our Showman of Showmen, Larissa Fano!

During the Beef Breeding show, exhibitors displayed their cows, heifers, and beef feeders in the ring. These exhibitors displayed cattle from a wide range of ages, which takes a great amount of skill. 

Congratulations to our Grand Champion Beef Breeding project, Jade Skrinjar, and Reserve Champion, Izzy Blazer! 

Congratulations to our Grand Champion Beef Feeder, Sadie Fannin, and Reserve Champion, Tatym Sigler!

Congratulations to our Showman of Showmen, Larissa Fano!

It was an amazing show to watch people and farms from across the county, and surrounding counties, display their livestock. We were able to see showmen of all ages participate in the show. The cattle were pristine and ready to be shown.

Congratulations to Supreme Female, Sharp Farms, and Reserve, Jade Skrinjar!

Congratulations to Supreme Bull, P&H Cattle Co., and Reserve, Double A Cattle!

While the Market and Showmanship shows are highly anticipated, Over-the-Hill Showmanship might be the most enjoyed day of the fair. Everyone relaxes and enjoys a show that has some mischief. Adults go into the ring and usually show cattle. In addition to our Over-the-Hill show, we also host a Pee-Wee show where young showmen can enter the ring and show their skills. This year, our judge was our Showman of Showmen winner, Larissa Fano, with help from one of our favorite MC's McKenzie Cope.

Congratulations to our Pee-Wee Showmanship Winner, Kinslee Bricker!

Congratulations to our Over-the-Hill Showmanship Winner, Alissa Baer!

An extremely hard day for exhibitors. The day when they have to say goodbye to the animal they have worked for so long with. While this day is difficult, we look forward to what our futures hold. We say goodbye to move on to the future and make a difference!
