Jim Reid
KEEP YOUR EYES UP I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8
Our dad Jim Reid touched every working part of The Showtimes. He helped make every black Showtimes Banner that hang in barns across the country. He was the first to read every single issue and our biggest fan. There wouldn’t be The Showtimes without him. He will continue to inspire each issue of The Showtimes Magazine.

to celebrate this milestone with us is tough. He was the glue of everything we did with The Showtimes. Although he won’t be able to witness the next 100 issues, everything we do moving forward will be based on the foundation he helped build. We will continue to “Keep Our Eyes Up.” This issue is special. The people in it and the livestock marketed throughout encompass everything we have worked for over the last 100 magazines. Thank you for allowing us to add “The Showtimes Effect” to this inudstry! ●
first issue of The Showtimes. Over half my life later, this issue marks the 100th issue. The last eighteen years have been filled with marketing some of the best livestock and people our industry has to offer. We have traveled countless miles and worked thousands of hours to insure The Showtimes brand is synonymous with quality and uniqueness. It’s what inspired some of our tag lines, “When You Want The Very Best,” “The Barn Favorite,” and “This Is Why We Show.” Not having my dad here

OUR DAD JIM REID FILMING AT BLACKOUT 5 in 2017.
THE VISION
ONE HUNDRED ISSUES OF THE SHOWTIMES MAGAZINE
In early 2003, we envisioned what would one day become The Showtimes. Brian had originally thought of starting a local livestock publication in Colorado and Wyoming while jackpotting steers during high school. It wasn’t until January 2007 during the National Western Stock Show that Lisa brought the idea up again. By February 1 The Showtimes, Inc. was officially in business. Brian (20), Laurie (16) and Lisa (15) started our first business while we were all showing and in school. What started out as a 32 page local magazine quickly grew to a publication that is consistently over 300 pages. In fact, our State Fair Edition became the biggest issue ever printed at 674 pages! Each year we made improvements ranging
from printing perfect bound, to upgrading from 4 to 6 issues per year. By 2011 we were printing in full color with a circulation of 8,000! To celebrate our 5th Anniversary back in 2012, we announced The Showtimes Magazine’s Blackout Jackpot and introduced our Showtimes App! Since that time we have passed 10,000 copies in print, over 9,000 online views of one issue and subscribers in all 50 states as well as Canada and Australia. The Blackout Jackpot 9 will be held February 28 - March 2, 2025. Our Showtimes App has over 34,647 downloads and includes features such as our Pasture Sales map, Show Videos, Online issues, News and Social Media coverage! It has always been our goal to

be the best livestock publication in the industry. When we started 18 years ago, there were no full color livestock magazines, no apps, no foil covers that unfolded in a variety of different ways, no one taking thousands of pictures and covering shows online and no such thing as a magazine putting out thousands of free copies during one show. The Showtimes changed what is expected from livestock magazines. We brought new and exciting ideas to the livestock show industry. Every time we sit down to start working on our next magazine, we strive to top our previous issue. Since we began 18 years ago, all 100 issues have been better than the same issue the year before! We hope you have enjoyed watching our publication grow since 2007. Over the next several pages we share the history of The Showtimes Magazine!

Sullivan Cattle Company has been featured on the most covers of The Showtimes with 17! Rodgers Cattle Company has the second most with 14!
THE SHOWTIMES OWNERS BRIAN, LAURIE AND LISA REID AT THE 2016 NATIONAL WESTERN.
In 2009 The Showtimes was only published quarterly (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). We wanted to fill the gap between issues, so we added two Showtimes Newsletters. These 12-36 page half sized newsletters included news, show results and ads. After two years they were replaced by full sized magazines. In 2011 we introduced the May/June Junior National Edition as well as our November/December Year End Edition!

THE LOGO
The logo was the first thing we designed. We knew we wanted a bold font that would stand out. The image in the shield and in the “O” of Showtimes was a cutout of Brian’s steer Buckeye at the 2004 Rocky Mountain Jr. Beef Expo. Brian had used that logo for graphic design in 2005 before incorporating it into The Showtimes. 1. Original The Showtimes Jr. Livestock Magazine logo used from 2007-2015. 2. The Showtimes logo used since 2015. We dropped “Jr. Livestock Magazine” since we now cover Open Cattle Shows as well! 3. The Showtimes logo with the “H” and “O” forming a 10 for our tenth year. 4. The Showtimes Shield logo since 2009. 5. “O” logo that was an early alternate. 6. “S” alternate logo from early on. 7. Buckeye silhouette alternate logo. 8. “ST” alternate logo that had been featured in show previews and booth setups. 9. 5th Anniversary Logo. 10. 10th Anniversary Logo. 11. 15th Anniversary Logo. 12. 100 Issue Logo for Jan/Feb 2025.

GIVING BACK
The Showtimes was a Member of the Denver Rustlers Sale Group at the Colorado State Fair for several years. Lisa and Laurie are pictured here with Tim Schultz. In 2020 The Showtimes purchased the Grand Champion Market Lamb In Pueblo!
After deciding to start our own livestock magazine during the National Western Stock Show, we came up with these sketches and layouts on our laptop. They were the first ideas we had for our new publication! We thought about using Rocky Mountain in the title at one point, Colorado & Wyoming’s Livestock Magazine or Colorado’s Jr. Livestock Magazine. After our first two issues, we knew it had to be a national livestock magazine. By July 2015 we dropped Jr. Livestock Magazine from our logo and simply go by The Showtimes. Some of these features are still in The Showtimes today including Now and Then, Upcoming Shows and In The News!

howtimes is the result of three things... passion, family and vision.
Buck, Nick Reimann, Mark Overman, Krisha Geffert (Custis), Don and Logan MacLennan, Warren and Darla Cude, Rod Kerchall and Mike Frink just to name a few. God has a funny way of writing stories; because these same people have turned out to be very instrumental in The Showtimes. We have always been an extremely tight knit family. Some of our favorite memories are of fitting our steers for the Grand Drive at the Colorado State Fair as a team of three. The Showtimes has become our new Grand Drive. The hours we spent at the barn have transitioned into time spent at shows and in the office working to produce the best and innovative livestock magazine the industry has ever seen. We strive to push the limits and cover exhibitors, livestock and producers in a way that we would have liked to have been covered while we were growing up showing. It is very rare to find one Reid without the other. However, it is each of our uniqueness put together with the others’ that makes up The Showtimes.
Eighteen years ago, The Showtimes was created. However, it was the years leading up to 2007 that
ultimately started the path to
where it would go. All three of us grew up with a love of showing livestock in 4-H. Our mom, Betty, raised and exhibited sheep when she was younger and the interest in the livestock industry passed on to us. When Brian was four-years-old, our Grandpa pulled into the driveway with a Hereford calf in tow. The rest is history. We exhibited cattle, hogs, sheep and goats at the county, state and national level and were active members of the livestock judging team. Over the years, we had the privilege of working with some of the industry greats such as John Sullivan, Bob May, Mark Dorsey, Kirk Roecker, Darren Straka, Travis Otterstad, Steve Bonham, Adam Pryor, Kirk Stierwalt, Jirl

We would not have been able to do The Showtimes without the help and support of our parents, Jim and Betty Reid. Mom is a big help at shows and in the office with sales and PR. Dad always made sure everything at home and in the sign shop ran smoothly while we were on the road or busy with deadlines.
