Henrietta Students Win at Fort Worth Stock Show
Fort Worth, Texas: Kolton Beeler and Lindsey Crafton of the Henrietta FFA chapter placed well during the 2015 Fort
Worth Stock Show & Rodeo on January 25 and 26 respectively. Beeler exhibited the Sr Calf Champion in the Junior
Maine-Anjou Show and Crafton exhibited the Reserve Senior Champion Heifer in the Junior Charolais Show
The 2015 Show hosted over 11,000 junior exhibitors, representing 237 counties across the State of Texas, competing for
prizes and $126,970.00 in premiums.
Since 1896, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo has remained a prominent event in the livestock industry. The nation’s
oldest livestock show will see approximately 28,000 head of world-class livestock roll through “Cowtown” between
January 16- February 7. While the show is continually looking ahead, the focus on the livestock industry and our youth is
unwavering.
“One of the Show’s main priorities is our commitment to the livestock industry and the agriculture leaders of tomorrow,”
said Bradford S. Barnes, President and General Manager of the Fort Worth Stock Show. “Junior exhibitors learn many
valuable life lessons during their years of showing livestock, which will serve them well throughout their lives. Our Show
ensures a progressive future for agriculture by assisting in the development and education of 4-H and FFA students.”
The 119th edition of the legendary Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo offers visitors a chance to experience the unique
western lifestyle along with a one-of-a-kind combination of history, tradition and Western heritage. For more information

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”
With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
