WINEGARDNER KLINGAMAN’S HARVEST OF EXCELLENCE SALE IS FEATURED ON THE COVER FOR THE 12TH YEAR! MAKE PLANS TO BE IN LIMA, OHIO THIS NOVEMBER!
FALL 2023 I can’t believe it is already Fall! We just came off one of our busiest Summers with trips to the Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Colorado State Fairs! We had a wonderful time covering the shows, visiting with customers and seeing friends! We now shift to Fall and being the Official Media Partner of the 2023 American Royal! We will be in Kansas City with our full Showtimes Store and Booth! We are looking forward to a great show at the American Royal! The Sept/Oct 2023 Fall Edition is filled with photos we took during our State Fair run. Be sure to check out all of our Faces and Places throughout this issue! We’ve also included Show Results from the State Fairs! Mike Pallas is this issue’s Hall of Fame Inductee! We met Mike back in 2006 before we started The Showtimes! We were traveling to Ak-Sar-Ben when it was still in Omaha. We broke down on the way to the show and Mike was there to help us out. He is one of the kindest people we have met. You will learn so much about him in his feature starting on page 212! Every Sunday you might have noticed that we share a Bible verse on The Showtimes Facebook and Instagram pages. Almost ten years ago I was sitting in Church and the idea crossed my mind
that The Showtimes had a large following on social media and that it would be a way to share the Bible with many people in our industry. That Sunday I started taking photos on my phone along with inspiring scripture or a Bible verse from that Sunday’s sermon. Sometimes it was a photo I took in Colorado Springs, or the sun shining through the trees on the way to church. Now we share Bible verses on images we take at shows throughout the country that might not get published like an empty chute or a Hereford’s eye. It grew into something that I hope inspires exhibitors and everyone who reads it. When we were at the Indiana State Fair we were down on the floor covering the Grand Drives. During the Market Hog Show judge Josh Brockman gave a really great speech about how everything you do either glorifies God, or glorifies yourself. Be sure to read his full speech on page 117! We look forward to seeing everyone at the 2023 American Royal in KC this October! Good luck at the Fall Shows!
