JUNIOR CORRAL  HANNAH HOFFMANN, AJAA PRESIDENT H ello everyone! I hope everyone had a great fall. The American Junior Aberdeen Association (AJAA) Board of Directors recently finished up our fall planning meeting. We can’t wait to see everyone in Chillicothe, Mo., on June 20-25, 2022, for Junior Nationals! It’s also crazy to think that the 2022 National Western Stock Show is right around the corner! Before we know it, we will all be in our stalls getting to see all of our stock show friends! The AJAA Board of Directors is working hard to prepare for our big fundraising event. During the National Western Stock Show, we will be hosting our annual auction during the National Banquet. This auction is our main fundraiser that helps us put on our Junior National Show. We have greatly appreciated every one’s support in the past and we are looking forward to the 2022 auction! Some things we will be auctioning off are our t-shirt sponsors, bucket spon sors, buckle sponsors and so much more! Make sure you watch our Facebook page for the auction items and even more updates. The National Western Stock Show has always played a big part in prepping the AJAA for the Junior National Show in June. We are all extremely thankful for all the support that we have received over the years. All the support that we get allows us to give our youth members many opportunities to be involved with the breed. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and safe travels during the holiday sea son. I’m looking forward to spending time with family and enjoying good food. I can’t wait to see everyone in Denver for the National Western Stock Show in a few short weeks and get ready to get “Charged up in Chillicothe” for our Junior National Show in June! TL
