Blaschko takes top showmanship honor at Le Sueur County Fair
Each year at the fair, the top showmen of the county get a chance to participate in the Premier Showmanship contest. To qualify for the event, exhibitors must place as champion and reserve champion for each species listed: beef, dairy, goat, sheep, horse, poultry, rabbit, and swine. These contestants have four minutes per specie to show the animal and answer a set of questions asked by the judge. The overall Premier Showman at the 2019 Le Sueur County fair was Kendra Blaschko, daughter of Chris and Jo, of Le Center. Pictured above is the lineup of contestants for the Premier Showmanship. Kendra Blaschko is front, middle on chair.

Their machine ran smoothly with no additional interventions and earned them all a blue ribbon.
