Hello, my name is Jody Primrose the Livestock Superintendent of the Colorado County Fair Association, Inc. I would thank everyone who came out and supported the Colorado County Ju- nior Livestock Show this year. It has been a year that has exceeded all expectations. The livestock chairmen and committee members stepped up and worked hard to put together a great livestock show. The exhibitors all worked hard and have raised some great projects. The sponsors did a great job by financially supporting our exhibitors so that they could put on a great livestock show, and the buyers came out in full force and supported the youth of the Colorado County Junior Livestock Show.
