Thank You, 2026 Converse County Junior Market Livestock Sale Buyers

There truly aren't enough words to express our gratitude for every single buyer who raised their hand in support of the youth of Converse County.

Because of you, the 2026 Converse County Junior Market Livestock Sale was one for the record books! This year's sale was record-breaking, and that success belongs to every business, family, and individual who chose to invest in our kids.

When you purchase an animal, you're buying so much more than quality livestock. You're investing in responsibility, early mornings, late nights, hard work, perseverance, and the future of agriculture. You're encouraging a young person who has poured their heart into a project for months, and you're helping them continue to chase their dreams.

Whether you purchased one animal, several animals, added on to projects, or simply showed up to support these exhibitors, you made a difference.

A special congratulations to our:
🏆 Top Buyer: 1876 Resources
⭐ Top New Buyer: Earth Works Solutions

And congratulations to our Top Ten Buyers for your incredible commitment to our youth and our community. Your generosity continues to strengthen the Converse County Fair and the opportunities it provides.

To every buyer listed here, thank you for believing in our exhibitors and in the future of agriculture. We are incredibly blessed to live in a community that continues to show up in such a big way.

From the bottom of our hearts...

Thank you for helping make the 2026 Converse County Junior Market Livestock Sale a record-breaking success. We couldn't do it without you, and we can't wait to see you back in 2027! ❤️🤍💙🐖🐑🐐🐄🌾

✨ ✨✨✨

The dust has settled on another incredible Converse County Fair. Our hearts are full from watching our kids hard work pay off, seeing them support and cheer on their friends new and old, the successes and the lessons learned. We are all feeling proud!
We all are waking up feeling like we got a few more hours than we did all week long. And for one individual behind the scenes it hasn't just been the past week.
It's been the last several weeks and months of planning and paying attention to every detail that makes this experience so polished and perfect for our families and the community.
Kelsey Stephens carries the role of Fair Manager, while also being mom, aunt, wife and "bonus mom" to so many kids in the barn. She's involved in her community in more ways than one can count and we are fortunate to have her running our event!
So if underneath the piles of laundry your kids have a box, or boxes of beautiful new buckles and ribbons. If you have a pile a shiny new banners to line your show barn with. If your exhibitors stepped into the ring and had the opportunity to show off their hard work and if you notice the beautiful advertisements that brought the community down to support it all. Then we want you to know, Kelsey is the magic behind it all. She does it with a passion and joy that is truly unmatched. Simply put, we are completely blessed to have her leading the charge at the Converse County Fair!
Thank you Kelsey!

❤️💙🤍
