The segment began with a visit from the Logan County 2023 fair
royalty. Queen Ellyn Martinex, Junior Miss Ella Wrage and Little
Miss Kodi Eigenbrod entered the ring and introduced themselves to
the spectators and each spoke a few words.
There were also a couple of special recognitions during the steer
section. Emma Eeten was awarded the Troy Lynn Miller Award,
presented in memory of the longstanding cattleman and beef
superintendent at the Logan County Fair. After during his time
serving the fair, his daughter Tracy Rawlings and grandson Troy were
heavily involved and Tracy remains a vital part of the 4-h beef show
each year.
Beau Tsachantz was recognized with the “Top Herdsman Award” in the
scramble calves.
When Kennadie Finchum brought out her cress bred steer, she was
acknowledged as the winner of the 2022 Scramble Calf Grand Champion.
Kennedie and her family were also recognized in another way. Many in
the Atlanta area know the Finchum family and know that Kennadie’s
dad Jay is currently battling cancer.
Around the arena there were several tee shirts that said “Finchum
Fighters” and offered a show of support for the family. While
Kennadie’s steer brought the top bid per pound in the steer category
at $7.75 per pound, it wasn’t the only good news the family received
that day.
The announcer shared that Kennadie has been at the fair all this
week without her parents. Jay and Amber are in Texas where Jay is
receiving treatment for the very rare cancer called Myxofibrosarcoma.
The young woman has done very well with support from her extended
family.
The announcer said as another show of support, the Finchum Fighters
had raised an additional $8,000 that would be given to Kennadie to
pass on to her parents.
