The event was the Missouri State Fair Sale of Champions. The proceedings included recognizing a veteran honoree, Mr. Mallory, and acknowledging the dedication of youth exhibitors and their families involved in agriculture and FFA. Remarks were made by the auctioneer, M.C., and various commissioners and officials, including the Chairman of the Missouri State Fair Commission, Gavin Trotter, and the Director of Agriculture, Christian. Discussions emphasized the importance of youth involvement in agriculture, responsibility, and the scholarship program, which has funded over six hundred forty-eight scholars since 1992. The schedule for the sale was adjusted to begin with Grand Champion rabbits, followed by other species. Scholarship application deadlines for the upcoming year were announced.
