County Fair Spotlight #7
Alexis is a Senior at Iowa-Grant High School. She has been an active FFA member for 4 years and an 8 year member of the Dairyland Diamonds 4-H Club.
Alexis says, "At the Grant county fair, I exhibited photography as well as 3 Brown Swiss heifers and 2 Brown Swiss cows. My fall calf, Flora, and summer yearling, Moose, won their classes and Sol, my spring yearling, was second. Moose then went on to be named Junior Champion Brown Swiss, and Flora was Honorable Mention. My Aged cow, Magic, and my 2 year old, Skyla, were Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion. Magic was also named Supreme Champion Cow of the entire show! I also had the privilege of winning a very competitive senior showmanship and qualified for Master Showmanship. In the Master Showmanship contest, I learned so much, strengthened so many friendships, and placed 3rd Overall! I’m so thankful for such a successful fair and all of the memories I made!"
Alexis' favorite parts about showing is encouraging the younger generation of showmen as well as seeing her own hard work pay off. Alexis would like to thank her Dad for the endless support that he has given her in helping her pursue her passion. None of her success would be possible without him.
CONGRATULATIONS, Alexis!
