💙 THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS — Desert Storm 2026 💙
What an absolutely incredible weekend in Hermiston.
We say it every year, but this year we truly mean it more than ever — Desert Storm 2026 was by far the BEST year yet. Bigger prizes, more banners, more people and more memories than we can count. This community never stops showing up and we are so incredibly grateful. 🏆
To our sheep families who burned the midnight oil with us — we see you, we hear you and we owe you a huge apology for how late things ran. You stuck it out with grace and grit and that means everything to us. We want you to know — we will NEVER let that happen again. You have our word. 💙
To our volunteers — thank you simply is not enough. You are the heartbeat of this show and none of it happens without you. Every gate held, every drink grabbed, every moment you stepped in without being asked — it mattered more than you know.
A special shoutout to each and every one of you by name:
🌟 White Salmon FFA
🌟 Lexi & Corey Johnson
🌟 Mauri & McKenna Knott & crew
🌟 My amazing husband — aka The Parking Guru 😄
🌟 The Binford Family — for your absolute rockstar of a daughter
🌟 The Shattuck Family
You are all heroes. Period. 🙌
To our incredible Judges, our exhibitors and families, our vendors, and especially EOTEC — thank you for making this weekend what it was. Your partnership, your patience and your energy make Desert Storm what it is.
We have things to work on and we are already thinking about how to make next year even better. We are not done growing — not even close. 🔥
See you in 2027. 💙🤠
