Where are our Award Winners Now?

🦬 Liz Schroth with Strategy Bison was the recipient of the first annual Pathfinder Award presented at the 2024 Beef, Beans & Bluegrass Festival Kickoff Dinner.

Since then, Dave and Liz Schroth are bringing Strategy Bison straight to the roadside with a stand that reflects their commitment to quality, community, and connection. What started as a way to share their bison more directly has quickly become a local favorite stop. Adding to the experience, Liz has launched her sourdough endeavor—offering fresh, handcrafted loaves that pair perfectly with their products. Together, they’re creating something special: simple, authentic, and rooted in hard work and faith. www.strategybison.com

The award nominations for all three award categories are open now through August 3, 2026 at our website - Beefbeansbluegrass.com
