🍓Show families, could everyone who has a red blower please take a moment to check and make sure it’s yours? A red one was accidentally taken, and this one was left behind. We believe it may have been a mix-up, and the family who is missing theirs would really appreciate getting it back Thank you!🍓

A big thank you to the Hillsborough Cattlemen Foundation for sponsoring and cooking 350 steaks for our exhibitor and law enforcement luncheon today. Thank you so much Chad Chronister with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office for stopping by to show his support for all of our youth in agriculture🍓

Thank you to Second Plate Catering for catering our delicious sides and to Apollo Meats for the incredible steaks🥩

In addition to our exhibitor classes, we had a very special class of PeeWee Showman that kicked off our competition night. This group of sweet and oh-so-cute little ones is crucial to our beef show and community, as it allows young people who aren’t yet of showing age to experience this way of agricultural life firsthand.

If you have any additional photos of your PeeWee Showman, please post them on the comments. We would love to add a picture of your exhibitor to this years album🍓
