As an organization, we want to send a big thank you to Wi******er Equipment Co for your generous donation of the Bobcats and skyjacker lifting equipment for our show last weekend. These items help us tremendously throughout the show and your generosity is appreciated by many. Clem's Garage for hauling these pieces of equipment in and out for the show. Thank you to Zack Barone for the lumber used on the sawmill. The sawmill is always a big hit for our spectators. Hedgesville 4H group for your help with the gate admission. Musselman High School FFA for your coordination of parking during the show. The Blue Family farm for donating the wheat that was used for threshing during the show! It takes a village and without the generosity of so many, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We thank you!!
