The Kent Habeger Memorial Classic is this weekend, and brings about a time of reflection and appreciation for those involved in hosting the show, as well as those that were close to Kent.
“I have been involved at the show for over 20 years. It is rewarding for me to see the efforts and the quality of cattle exhibited by the youth of the Midwest. These standards and values are what our friend Kent instilled in his life” states Jeff Holmes.
Judging the show this year is Dustin Smith of Storm Lake, IA. Check-in starts at 7:00 pm Friday night, and continues Saturday at 7:00 am. In addition to the show, there will be a $500 scholarship awarded.
“Kent always had a smile on his face. Win, lose or draw, he never let it interfere with his relationships,” said John Sullivan.
