The Wise County Hay Show was a
huge success held last Thursday at the Wise County Fair Grounds. Thirty two entries competed during the show
in three different categories such as: Warm Season Perennial Grasses, Summer
Annual Grasses and Winter Annual Grasses.
Gary Green exhibited the Grand
Champion Hay this year which came out of the Warm Season Perennial Grass
Category. Also coming out of the Warm
Season Perennial Grass Category was the Reserve Grand Champion Hay exhibited by
Calm Leas Farm/Guy Pegues.
Other winners were; 1st
place in the Warm Season Annual Grasses exhibited by Melvin & Todd Meadows,
and the 2nd place was exhibited by Rick Wilson. In the Cool Season Annual Grasses, 1st place
went to Rick Wilson and the 2nd place was exhibited by Mote &
Sanford/Rodney Mote.
Exhibitors that competed in the
show also donated a bale of Hay to the Wise County Livestock and Forage
Committee to be auctioned off and all proceeds to be donated to the Wise County
Youth Fair. In its first year the
auction raised $2045.00.

auction were: Rick Wilson, Leslie Fortenberry, Carla Payne, Todd and Melvin
Meadows, S & S Hay, Jared Montford, Charles Brown, Gary Green, James
