Inspirational Service
“I owe the NJSA many thanks for acting as a road map and a compass throughout my young life.”
-Bailey (Albright) Elchinger, past NJSA Junior Board Director
Coldwater, Mich.
“Being an NJSA member is a lot of fun and opens up a lot of opportunities in the industry. It is an organization that will really help you out in your life.”
-Blake Davis, 18, Paragould, Ark.
“I learned lifelong lessons, like the more
work you put into something the better it will turn out. I like the challenges of constantly improving my projects and becoming a better showman.”
-Caleb Johnson, 14, Ballico, Calif.
“I was able to participate in many events and activities and because of it, I have grown as a person and have no idea where I would be without NJSA. It can give a person so many irreplaceable memories and opportunities to cherish and recall for a lifetime.”
-Everleigh Hayes, 19, Port Lavaca, Texas
“I learned how to work with lots of different types of people, from different parts of the country, with different backgrounds and personality types. Even though we all had a love for the show pig industry (and swine industry in general) there were so many differences among us.”
-Katrina (Waters) Huffstutler, Past NJSA Junior Board Director
