A large crowd gathered for the Thursday evening Oklahoma Youth Expo recognition of Scholarship winners and the Grand Champion Drive in the State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City. Those who came saw seventy two 4-H and FFA members receive scholarships that total more than $180,000, while the participants in the four Grand Champion Drives jockeyed for the right to lead or drive one of the first four animals that will be auctioned in the Sale of Champions on Friday afternoon.
The Grand Champion Market Barrow was the Champion Hampshire in the 2016 show- owned by Karli Schwerdtfeger of Stratford 4-H. The judges next used the Champion Crossbred as the second best barrow in the show of over 2,600- the Champion Cross owned by Gavin Straka of El Reno FFA.
The Bronze Medallion Barrow- third best in the show- is the Reserve Champion Hampshire that was shown by Ali Hargjo of El Reno FFA.
