New Champions are Crowned at the 2019 Championship Drive

The second annual Championship Drive was held at the 2019 Kentucky State Fair on Thursday, Aug. 22, rewarding exhibitors for the hours of work poured into their show animals.

Over 60 4-H and FFA exhibitors participated in the Championship Drive, and 20 students went home with banners.

“The Championship Drive was so inspiring and touching. Young members will look up to the champions. They are the model for how things should be done,” said Gloria Bolin, the Kentucky 4-H President.

The relaxed yet intense environment made all the competitors feel like they belonged on the main stage. The exhibitors wanted to put on the best show possible to be selected as Grand Champions.

Allison Fink, the Grand Champion Goat exhibitor said, “I feel like your heart kind of stops for a minute. I’ve won before and it’s the same feeling that I’ve had. I really wanted it like everyone else in there did. It’s just a really good feeling when you see them walk towards you and put their hand out to shake.”
