Spirit of America Award

Green Family Farms sponsors the Spirit of America Award to honor those individuals who lost their lives on 9-11-01.  This award is meant to carry on the spirit of those individuals who gave their lives for our country and for those individuals who carry on that spirit in their everyday lives.  A judge was asked to pick exhibitors that showed the characteristics of what we uphold as strong character traits.  These traits include sportsmanship, hard work, and individual pride.  Winners of this award have their name added to a sign that hangs in the livestock show arena as a reminder to future generations that we do remember 9-11-01, and that we only have to look around us to find individuals who make America great.
