Now that the dust has settled, this past weekend has been able to truly set it. We would like to sincerely thank each exhibitor and family who came out to Saunders County and helped this show grow into this. Thank you to our judges who truly made this a high caliber event. Thank you to Abby Miller, Jackie Heinrich, and Morgan Smith for braving the day and helping keep things running. Thank you to my parents, Matt and Lori Hannan, and my brother, Miles for supporting this vision I had and for dedicating their time to making it happen. And thank you to the sponsors who made this possible- the Saunders County Livestock Association, MP Mart, Baade Genetics, Quentin Smola, and Travis Sudik.
We were absolutely blown away by the turnout with over 800 head entering the ring throughout the course of two shows. I wasn’t able to truly process that on Saturday, and as I reflect on the weekend it continues to sink in. It’s difficult to express what it means to see the next generation having the experiences that I’ve dedicated the last few years to trying to help create. Next year we’ll be back with even more prizes, cash, buckles, and banners… thanks to all of you. See you in 2024.
