~ Scholarship Awards Day ~
The day has finally come—we get to see the fruits of our labor reflected in the smiles of our scholarship recipients.
This scholarship means so much more than a financial gift—it represents a legacy.
This year, we were blessed with an overwhelming number of outstanding applicants. The quality of applications made the selection process incredibly difficult. To ensure fairness and impartiality, we entrusted the review and selection of our scholarship recipients to an independent outside committee.
Scholarship Recipients:
🎓Lily Blevins, graduate of North Sand Mountain High School, accepted to Mississippi State University
🎓Morgan Koon, graduate of Harris County High School, accepted to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
🎓Coby Holtzclaw, graduate of Bowdon High School, accepted to Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
🎓Miles Williamson, graduate of Ranburne High School, accepted to West Georgia Technical College
Congratulations to each of our scholarship recipients!
We are proud of your hard work, dedication, and commitment to agriculture, education, and your future. We can’t wait to see where your journey takes you.
Also, a very big thank you goes to Verdon Chapel Baptist Church for a fabulous job in the fields parking cars for our rodeo. Verdons Chapel is in the middle of a building project at their church and they graciously paused their work to help us out. We appreciate them and the work they do for our community.
Thank you to Buster Miles Chevy and Ford, our Presenting Sponsor, for coming out today and presenting the awards to our recipients. Thank you to Lucky Chuck Socks for the recipients gifts. To all our Rodeo Sponsors, thank you for believing in this mission. Your generosity allows us to invest in the next generation and keeps alive the legacy of Milton Butler—a man who believed in hard work, integrity, faith, and giving young people an opportunity to succeed. Every scholarship awarded is a reflection of the values he lived by.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who applied, to every sponsor who gave, to every spectator who attended, and to everyone who continues to support this program. Together, we’re not just awarding scholarships—we’re passing down a legacy that will continue to impact lives for generations to come.
Today is why we do what we do. ❤️🎓
