The "Pathway to Purple Showmanship Camp" happened in Riley County this past weekend. A great group of young showman gathered to expand their showmanship knowledge!

Thank you to Jacob Wendland for spearheading the event, and to the entire Wendland Family for their assistance and for sharing their knowledge with campers.

We'd also like to appreciate our other "celebrity showman" who helped teach throughout the event, Avery Eckoff, Dalyn Eckoff, and Kaden Camerlinck. You all truly made the "best better" by helping coach the next generation of champions.
