š®Help Fill the Buckets! š®
Each year, the Nixon and Gray families are proud to host the Open Bucket Calf Show at the Clark County Fair. Itās one of their favorite events because every young exhibitor gets their moment to shine in the ring.. smiling for the crowd, talking with the judge, showing off their calf, and waving to family and friends cheering them on from the stands.
Local businesses are asked to support a lot of worthy causes throughout the year, and many are stretched thin - but thatās also what makes our small community such a special place to live and work- we all come together to support our kids.
At the show, every participant receives a 5-gallon bucket filled with goodies. They try to include a mix of:
š Farm supplies (brushes, halters, show supplies, etc.)
šŖ Snacks and treats
šØ Fun items like bubbles, coloring books, and other kid-friendly surprises
They are currently looking for donations of 50 of a single item to help fill the buckets for this yearās exhibitors. Theyād love to have all donations collected and buckets assembled by July 6th.
If your business, organization, family, or group would like to help support this fun event for the young kids in our community, please reach out to: Zach or Olivia Nixon, Britten or Vanessa Gray.
All sponsors will receive:
ā¢Name/logo on the event flyer
ā¢Recognition during the show in the arena
ā¢Name/logo included on the sponsor brochure placed inside each bucket
If you havenāt been to the open bucket calf show in the last couple years, please come join on July 15th at 5pm. Itās truly one of the most adorable little shows and so cute to see them interact with their calves.
We couldnāt do it without the support of our incredible community and we are looking forward to our best fair yet! ā¤ļøš®
