Frey chosen as auctioneer finalist

Tom Frey of Creston was chosen as one of seven finalists from a field of 33 contestants in Livestock Marketing Association’s World Livestock Auctioneer Championship, held at Sioux Falls Regional Livestock market in June. Finalists received custom-designed silver belt buckles from LMA. The championship, which includes an actual cattle sale, is held to spotlight the competitive marketing process and the auctioneers who are a continuing vital part of that process.

I disagree, it is too early, especially if it starts before the end of the Iowa State Fair.
School should be year-round
