The California State Holstein Convention kicked off on Thursday, January 29th. The convention is being held at John Ascuaga’s Nugget in Sparks, Nevada, just a few minutes from Reno, “The Biggest Little City in the World.”

Senior members started off the convention program with a very welcoming host night. We were treated to a fabulous and culinaraly delightful dinner buffet followed by the Convention ET Choice and Embryo Sale. Host night was truly a classy event from the food to the ambiance of the spacious ballroom. Senior members enjoyed meeting up with old friends and fraternizing about their passion, the Holstein cow.

California’s vibrant and active Junior Holstein Association kicked off their convention activities earlier in the day with scholarship and award interviews, their prepared public speaking contest and dairy bowl test. Their evening began with a Junior Holstein Association Meeting. Following a day packed with important business the juniors were entertained to a yummy pizza party and a very exciting Bingo Bash! The juniors had a ball, hanging out with friends and winning lots of fun bingo prizes.

Day two of the convention starts today, Friday, January 30th, with a jam packed schedule of events for Senior and Junior members alike. We will share more updates and award winning with you as they are announced.
