About us
The Final Drive 4-H Club started Logan Smith Memorial Goat & Sheep Show in 2022! Final Drive 4-H Club has been a club for 20 years growing more and more each year. The leader of the Club is Dawn Sammons, who has poured her heart and soul into helping 4-H kids do what they love! They still help and host this show in the memory of their dear and beloved Final Drive Club member Logan. The Logan Smith Memorial Goat & Sheep Show is in the process of becoming a non-profit organization that the committee (made up of Logans parents and community members) plan to keep going for generations to come to honor his memory!
This show is named in the memory of Logan Smith. Logan Smith was a member of the Final Drive 4-H Club and was an integral part many things agriculture! Most importantly he was an amazing example to all who knew him. The purpose of this show is to honor the memory of Logan Smith and share all the good that he was! Logan spent a great deal of time at the Conejos County Arena Complex, in 4-H, roping, riding, and just having a great time so it is fitting to have a show here in his honor. This will be a show from the trailer event. (There are NOT washing stalls or holding pens on the premises.) This is an open show.
