Cal Poly’s Western Bonanza
Turned 25!
The pictures are getting
developed and the animals are now onto the next show, but
Cal Poly’s 25th Western Bonanza Junior Livestock
was “The Best in the West!”
Western Bonanza was a huge
success President’s Day Weekend with 426 exhibitors
from all over California entering 1,704
head of livestock
in the A and B shows combined.
Overall award premium payouts totaled $40,000 for all
species in 2009.
Sponsorships accounted for $50,000 designated for class,
Division Champion and Supreme Champion awards.
The fun-packed weekend was the
perfect combination of competition and celebration. Entrants
ages 9 to 21 competed for prizes including belt buckles,
jackets, garment bags, and duffel bags all specially
imprinted with our 25th Anniversary Logo. In
addition all entrants were entered into a raffle to win
iPods, a Nintendo DS, and a Wii.
Exhibitors also enjoyed a
quick bag of popcorn before entering the show ring. A
commemorative reception for past managers and corporate
sponsors was celebrated with appetizers and a “blast of the
past” slideshow.
Thank you for celebrating our
debut of Western Bonanza’s Silver Anniversary. The 2010 show
will top the charts and we look forward to seeing you there!
Keep your calendars open for Presidents Day Weekend,
February 12-14, 2010.
