Never, Never Sit on this Man's Knee

Saturday night is the big event. Cattlemen will be recognized for their top performing grass cattle at the awards banquet. That will be followed by a steak dinner and entertainment by Greg Claassen. He can make just about anything talk... and that's exactly what he's been doing with his ventriloquist act over the last 30 years. Greg has established a reputation for an unfailing audience rapport. It's hysterical fun once Greg's "friends" are unleashed on stage. It's no wonder his program is referred to as one of the most unique after dinner programs in the country!

On Sale Now!
A limited number of tickets for Saturday night can be purchased for $30 at Emporia Veterinary Hospital, Jim's Cowboy Shop or Frontier Farm Credit in Emporia. Advance tickets only.
