In the end, the trophies don't matter, the plaques aren't important, the banners tend to fade, but your pride and passion that it took you to get them, that is what stays in your heart forever.

Another year down...

The 2011 Buckeye Show Circuit Winter Edition has came and went, another year down in the books. This year the numbers have increased from previous years. The family atmosphere, the friendly faces, the laid back running of the shows keeps bringing back more and more of Ohio's swine exhibitors, along with a few out of state friends. I am glad to see this program continually growing strong because it will always hold a special place in my showing career. This success is owed to all of the Buckeye Show Circuit Sponsors, the work behind the scenes from Sherri Kile, Roger & Bev Bentley, Holly Wagner, and Christi Bachman and the show sponsors-- Silver Dollar Jackpot, Champion Drive Jackpot, the Jackpot Market Hog Show, and the Real McCoy Jackpot Show. I did not show this year, however it was fun to go up and lend a helping hand to the program that has done so much for me over the years. I highly recommend getting involved in a jackpot series within your state, because it really does make all the difference.


Congratulations to this years top exhibitors:
