What feed product do you feel helped them the most?
Fresh Feed and Water.
What show day supply could you not go without?
The Weaver Proair, that thing is amazing.
What did you do to prepare that helped set yourself apart?
I just keep putting in the work every day, even when I’m tired or have a lot going on. All the extra hand-walking really adds up.
What was the funniest thing that happened while you were preparing for the State Fair?
It’s hard to pick just one funny moment at AYE, our crew is always joking around and keeping things fun. I love to laugh, and they make sure there’s always something to smile about.
If you could invent a new fair food, what would it be?
I don’t think I’d need to invent anything new. I’d just make sure every fair has the Drink Wagon’s ‘Red Barn’ drink! Every event needs one! #Chefskiss
What would it look like if you designed a ride for the fair?
It would be a Zipper 2.0. Think Zipper + Area 51
What was your celebratory dinner choice?
Texas Roadhouse
