Welcome to the 2015 Super Showmanship competition. We have a wonderful selection of exhibitors, as well as animals for this show. As members of the Sioux County Youth Council, we have the privilege of spending time to challenge you throughout the morning and afternoon of this show. We have a series of questions that will be asked throughout the morning, where winners will receive some fantastic prizes. Please help us give a round of applause to all exhibitors today.
