Just over a week to go!

We have all had our orientation meeting and have completed our fundraising goals of just over $30,000. First and foremost, a huge thank you to all who have helped us get to this point. I know that the team is extremely honored to have been able to bring ANOTHER National Title back to Maryland and continue an amazing tradition. For those of you who do not know, this year's team members are:


Hannah Hood of Frederick County
Kaitlyn Corbett of Washington County
Jessica Sentelle of Frederick County
Jason Zimmerman of Montgomery County
Jeff Semler of Washington County coached this great group

The travel plans include visiting Scotland, England, France, Luxembourg and Germany. We will have the opportunity to judge cattle at the Royal Highland Show in Scotland and the Luxembourg National Show, see a play in London, take a cruise down the Rhine River and so much more. The tour group has even been invited to lead cattle in an International Sale hosted by the Luxembourg Herd Book Association! So much more to be shared with you in the days and weeks to come. Thank you once again for your support as this trip would not have been possible otherwise.
