Well, here
we go! Today began the first day of our Junior National Hereford Expo as we
start Living the Hereford Life! If you’re not in Grand Island, you’re missing
out!
Dad and I
rolled in with gear and cattle about 11:30, but the Dorrells, Ellermans and
Crocketts were nice enough to save us stall space. Regardless, we were set up,
washed, dried and checked in by 1! Our Junior Board did a great job with
check-in, making sure everything ran smoothly. A big, big thanks to them!

The
Nebraska Junior Hereford Association put together some great goodie bags,
bright blue buckets with lots of coupons and our nice gray show shirts
included! We also got our black Sure Champ shirt (worn on Wednesday) and our
VERY bright orange Kansas shirts (you’ll see LOTS of those tomorrow). This is
the main reason you could pack light for JNHE. They give you three shirts just
for showing up!

During the
day, our KJHA members participated in many various contests. I’ll post more
details about that tomorrow once all the results are in! Miss Jalyn and Miss
Lauren both participated in Hereford Idol. A large group of our members gave
illustrated speeches. Many of our kids also have photos and posters entered,
which placing will be announced tomorrow during opening ceremonies.

Tonight we
were busy as the delegates went off to round table discussion with board
candidates. While they were there, the rest of us got to work hanging our
BRIGHT yellow curtains and show signs. But we got pizza, so I suppose it all
evens out!

Our own
KJHA president Brady Jensen is one of the board candidates, so make sure to
give him your support! He is running with Elise Hackett (Illinois), Kristin
Bielema (Michigan), Jason May (Minnesota), and Hayley Miller (Indiana). I look
forward to working the ring with each of them throughout this week!
Tomorrow
will be a busy day, including 3-on-3 basketball. Certified Hereford Beef
Grill-off, Hereford Bowl written test, and Queen’s Tea and Orientation. We’ll
finish up the day with Opening Ceremonies followed by a hamburger fry and the
Junior dance. I hope to see you all there!
