Deck the Hogs

I have so many thank you’s to give so I want to make sure I get everyone! First I would not have been able to get this show off the ground without my incredible committee. Angela Fischer Bo, Wendi Woodruff Jeannin, Bailee Jeannin, Becky Ortiz, Ansley Bo, Lilly Herb, Matt Myers, Rebecca Crosby, Michael Crosby, Sara Czipulis, Kyndall Arin Brown, Angie Thompson Leonard, Eric and Grace Herb. I cannot express how much I appreciate each of you. From getting sponsors, student volunteers, designing buckles and banners, to showing up to work a long day at a pig barn and in a concession stand, it does not go unrecognized at all. You are the reason our first show was a success.

Next the FJSC board and members. Ray, Danny Drawdy, Ashley Newsome Smith, Chris Ashley, Erica Newman Reagan, Seth Reagan, Stephanie, Zane Gilmore, Hunter, FJSC Junior board, Brett Wheeler, and the other countless members that offered help. Your support and guidance in and out of the ring was unbelievably humbling!

To the FFA members that helped in the food booth and ring yesterday, you are why we do this and can’t thank you enough for giving your time to our show!

Finally to all the exhibitors that believed in us, and attended our show….you are superstars and hope you had a great weekend!
I am sorry for the long post and rambling.

Good morning! Thank you to Jessica with Arrow J Photography for her work yesterday. Here is the link for the photos. They are free to download. She is still working on uploading all of them but showmanship and the market show is ready.

Today was nothing short of incredible! I will put together my thoughts to make a more detailed post to describe just how thankful we are for the support of our show! But I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone for the hugely successful pajama drive. My van is filled with 138 jammies to donate this week. So amazing!!! We are so proud to be a part of this insanely generous show community

Good morning! We are starting to collect pajamas at 8am in the fair office this morning and will connect until showmanship starts. We will also collect after the show today as well as tomorrow morning from 7am until showmanship starts. 💙💛

Reminder!!!! Remember to finalize payment on your entries by 11:59 tonight. You can edit entries up until midnight tomorrow but we will have to implement late fees for any new entries or payments tomorrow! And again reach out with any questions, I know there are quite a few families new and we want to make sure you have an enjoyable show weekend! No questions are silly or a bother.
