We would like to thank the Kiowa County Fair Board for all of their help. We would like to thank our judge, Ryder Klassen for doing such an amazing job evaluating the livestock and working with the kids. Thank you to Elena Santiago and her mother for all of the incredible pictures taken these past two days. Thank you to the judging team from Murray State for coming and working with the kids during the judging contest. Thank you to Julie Cruz and crew for the amazing food! Thank you to Candace Thurmond for designing the amazing banners! Thank you to the Hobart Chamber of Commerce!
A huge thank you to Aubrey Latham and crew!
Most importantly, thank you to the buyers who come and support the exhibitors. Your selflessness and contributions to these kids truly make it possible for these kids to continue their endeavors!
