Big show

Congratulations to Clinton Weiss for being the lucky winner of the November Travel Indiana contest. Weiss, Union City, correctly identified that the event pictured in the column was the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. He receives a $25 gift certificate for being the monthly winner.

Since that column appeared, show organizers held another successful NAILE event in November, with plenty of Hoosiers participating in junior shows, open shows and breed sales across multiple species.

NAILE continues to be one of the premier livestock shows in the country. It’s held each November. Since it’s so close to Indiana, thousands of Hoosiers flock to the Kentucky Exposition Center either to participate or to observe various shows and events. Congratulations to all of the 2016 NAILE exhibitors from Indiana.
