Throughout the weekend we will be offering updates, photos and videos on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo, App and Website. Plus look for videos and official photos on Monday!

We greatly appreciate all of our friends that continue to help put on this event year after year. The Blackout Jackpot 5 is our biggest event we have ever held. More events, more awards/prizes and the most unique theme you will find at a show anywhere in the country!

The Blackout Jackpot / Green & Gold weekend is always one of the events we look forward to every year. We always enjoyed jackpotting our show steers growing up. The Blackout is a way to help give back to a program that means a lot to us.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Loveland!

Good luck at the show!
