🐮🧡 Thank You for Supporting Our Youth! 🧡🐮

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Calhoun County Livestock Premium Sale. Your generosity, encouragement, and continued support make a lasting difference in the lives of our exhibitors.

“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt

Because of you, these young people are gaining opportunities, experiences, and support that will carry them far beyond the show ring. Your investment in them today is helping build the leaders, farmers, and agricultural advocates of tomorrow.

We are incredibly grateful for a community that continues to show up and support our youth year after year. Thank you for investing in their future! 🧡

🐄 Calhoun County Fair Cow Hunt — CLUE #2 🐄

I’ve wandered my quadrant and Picked out some ground,
Away from the pasture, I’m still hanging Around.
I Rest where the town has carved out some space,
Keeping watch while you search for my hiding place.

The answer is closer than it first may appear…
Sometimes the smallest details make everything clear. 🐄🔎
