Paris, Tenn.–The No Limits Livestock Show was a definite success Saturday–in many ways. Ten students with special needs had their first opportunity to show livestock at a show which was complete with judging, ribbons, banners–and plenty of applause from the audience at the Henry County Livestock Barn.
No Limits is the brainchild of Sarah Cate Orr, who told RadioNWTN, “I was so excited to see how much of an eye opening experience it would be for the exhibitors, but rather it was an eye opening experience for me to see a community come together to help turn my dream into a reality and to see how well the exhibitors bonded with their animals and their buddies.”
The students showed lambs in two classes. Judge was Chris Cherry of Scott’s Hill FFA. In remarks to the crowd, he said, “This is all for the kids. I’m proud of the work you got going on here and I’m proud of Sarah Cate.”
In the Junior class, Grand Reserve Champ was Chase Cole and Grand Champ Winner was Emily Hilliard.
In the Senior class, Grand Reserve Champ was Abigail James and Grand Champ was Levi Armstrong.
The students and families were treated to a meal after the show and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office donated gift cards to all the participants.
