Donate to Support the 2027 Eastern Regional!

In June of 2027, Indiana hosts the 55th Eastern Regional Junior Angus Show, and the Indiana Angus Association will serve as host. From June 24 through 27, junior Angus exhibitors and their families will travel to the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds in Lafayette from across the eastern half of the country to show cattle, compete in contests, and spend four days together. For our juniors, hosting this show is the kind of opportunity that comes along once in a generation.

Hosting the Eastern Regional means covering the cost of the things that make a show run well and feel like home. Arena and facility rental, bedding, awards and banners, meals for exhibitors and families, contest supplies, and the hospitality that sends people back to their home states talking about Indiana. The juniors are doing the work. What they need is the support behind it.

As an Indiana Angus member, you already know what these shows mean to the young people in this breed. You have watched them learn to work cattle, speak in front of a crowd, and carry themselves well whether they win or lose. A sponsorship is a direct investment in that, and in the reputation Indiana will carry for years after the trailers pull out.

Sponsorship levels are listed on the enclosed form, with options to fit nearly any budget. Every level includes recognition at the show and in event materials, and we are glad to work with you on an in-kind contribution if that fits your operation better than a check. We are asking for commitments by December 31, 2026 so that sponsors can be included in printed materials, and we will gratefully accept support any time between now and show week.

Checks can be made payable to the Indiana Angus Association with Eastern Regional Fund in the memo line, and mailed to Indiana Angus Association, c/o Treasurer Melanie Ritz, 5118 N County Rd 100 E, Seymour, IN 47274. Please note that contributions are not tax deductible.

If you have questions or want to talk through options, please reach out to Joe Horstman at 765.426.0426 or joe.horstman@gmail.com.

Thank you for considering this, and thank you for everything you already do for Indiana Angus juniors and families.

Sincerely,
