Meet one of the students impacted by your generosity!

Our 2026 Ellis County Livestock Show and Rodeo raised $1.54M that went right back to students and organizations giving them opportunities, such as scholarships, to further their education and strengthen their future. Thank you, Ellis County, for helping make a lasting difference.

Our 2026 Ellis County Livestock Show & Rodeo Queen Amelia Dineen recently spent time with the dyslexia students at Felty Elementary, reading the book she wrote inspired by her own journey with dyslexia and reminding these students that their differences are not limitations- they are part of what makes them extraordinary.

Through honesty, encouragement, and heart, Amelia shared a message every child deserves to hear: you are capable, you are intelligent, and your story matters.

Moments like these are what true leadership looks like- using your voice and your experience to lift others up. We are so proud of Amelia for turning her journey into something that inspires the next generation.

The impact of the Ellis County Livestock Show and Rodeo is felt in many ways throughout our community, including helping in the fight against hunger right here at home in Ellis County.

At our Sale of Champions, many of our buyers chose to donate their purchased animals to local food pantries, including CARE Services and Manna House.

Thank you to these generous hearts for helping ensure Ellis County families stay fed.

Ellis County, you sure showed up! We are incredibly grateful to all the attendees, participants, volunteers, athletes, students, sponsors, and partners of our community for your overwhelming support of the 2026 Ellis County Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Because of your generosity and commitment, we are proud to announce a record-breaking $1.54 MILLION was raised this year!

These funds will directly benefit the students who worked so hard to compete, strengthen agricultural education programs across Ellis County, and support the ongoing operations and upkeep of the Ellis County Expo Center, home to so many of our community’s events and traditions.

Thank you for investing in our youth, our agriculture, and the future of Ellis County. This achievement truly reflects what we can accomplish together for the generations to come.

This past Saturday, we had the pleasure of celebrating our annual BBQ Luncheon and Sale of Champions, a moment these students have worked toward all year long. Watching them cross that finish line with pride, showcasing their animals and projects, is truly something special.

This event and the incredible support from our community creates opportunities for these young individuals to grow, learn, and chase their dreams. We couldn’t be more proud of every participant and all they’ve accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who made this day possible and to everyone who participated in and supported this year's Ellis County Livestock Show and Rodeo. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year! 🎉

Did you know that last Friday we celebrated 10 years of A Day in the Ring?! This tradition was brought to life by our former Ag Extension Agent, Megan Shaffer (formerly Megan Parr) and her student Anna Arnold. We want to give a big thank you to Austin Arms of Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, Ellis County for helping make this event possible!

This is what the spirit of Ellis County is all about. Making opportunities happen for students who deserve it! Thank you to everyone who came out to support this event! We look forward to continuing the tradition for years to come.
