Well-known member
A special thanks to F&R Trailer Sales and Featherlite for sponsoring the use of new Featherlite Aluminum Stock Trailers for one year to top junior exhibitors!
Expo Rescheduled and Relocated!
2/19/08- Officials at the Illinois State Fairgrounds notified IBA Saturday afternoon that the grounds would be closed to all upcoming events indefinitely, due to a major electrical problem.
Thanks to the cooperation of many, a shortened version of the Illinois Beef Expo will be held Feb. 29- March 2 at the Interstate Center in Bloomington.
We regret that we had to cancel the Junior Show, Quiz Bowl and Judging Contests.
The Trade Show will be enhanced by the facilities provided.
Our apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate the tremendous cooperation so far and as always will work to make it a successful, enjoyable event!
