I t has it all … a live cattle show, cattle working contest, rodeo and a cattle crawl, along with a parade themed “Nothing satisfies like beef – We ‘Steak’ our future on it!” The Mary Hopkins Award went to Pat Koons, long-time supporter of Kansas livestock, and the parade grand marshal was local favorite Keith Downer. Congratulations to Garden City for another job well done. By Betty Jo Gigot Publisher Photos Courtesy Beef Empire Days BEEF EMPIRE DAYS 55 Years and Going Strong
