Hundreds Converge in Enid for NWDJLS

The 84
th
Annual Northwest District Junior Livestock Show is the biggest secret in Enid to anyone outside of the agricultural community. This week-long event brings hundreds of exhibitors and their families to town. This year 889 exhibitors are registered with over 2,400 animals entered.
“After months of feeding, grooming and working with their animal project, these students are ready to enter the show ring in Enid with the hope of walking out with a blue ribbon in hand,” said Jennifer Kisling, NWDJLS General Superintendent.
The show is open to the public and free to watch. “I encourage everyone to come out and support our area’s students as they compete,” said Kisling. “Even if you don’t know anything about the livestock industry, this is an opportunity to see some of the best and brightest youth in our area. The level of responsibility and respect in these students is unmatched. It’s fun to watch.”

LGE Class XXVII Spotlight
|
|
Name:
Brandi 'Welker' Schieber
Hometown:
Kremlin, OK
Family:
Married to Russell Schieber for 11 years. We have three girls - Kinason (8), Kinadee (6) and Kindree (4).
Occupation/Profession:
Owner/Agent of Schieber Insurance
Who is/was the most influential person in your life and why:
My husband Russell. He has always believed in me and pushed me to be my best. If an idea comes to me, he pushes me to go for it!
What are three things on your bucket list:
I have done several bucket list things, but I am a HUGE college basketball fan. I have always wanted to go to the Final Four (it is always the weekend of my birthday) and see Duke vs. North Caroline at Duke.
What was your all-time best Halloween costume
: I hate Halloween, I don't like scary things at all. I would have to say my favorite costume was a scarecrow.
Favorite thing about Enid:
I love what they have done with Meadowlake Park. It reminds me of growing up here. My great grandparents took me to ride the train every chance they got.

Name:
Stephanie Moffitt Carr
Hometown:
Anadarko, Oklahoma
Family:
Single. Boy Mom of two amazing, smart, athletic and super sweet young men. Ashton is 14 years old and Peyton is 8 years old. No pets, I am just amazed I keep the kids and plants alive right now (and let's just say the plants need some attention right now).
Occupation/Profession:
Grant Administrator for the City of Enid - I am the director for the Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Program, writer and administrator of all Federal and State grants and I am the Fair Housing Coordinator for NW Oklahoma.
Who is/was the most influential person in your life and why:
There are so many, it is difficult to list just one. Everyone I meet contributes a piece of the puzzle I call life. My parents have always been very influential in my life. They are hardworking people who taught me if I want something, I need to work for it and not depend on anyone else to provide it for me but if I see someone else, unable to provide for themselves, I should help them without expectations of repayment or glory. I have met so many friends and colleagues along the way that have influenced me greatly as well. I am also a really big fan of Martin Luther King Jr. and most influenced from day one and on a daily basis by God.
What are three things on your bucket list:
Buy a motorcycle (and ride it), fly in a private jet to a beach somewhere and run a marathon
What was your all-time best Halloween costume:
There are two memorable ones but my favorite would have to be when Ashton was Cookie Monster and I was a cookie.
Favorite thing about Enid:
My favorite thing about Enid is the people. I have never seen so many servant hearted people concentrated into 75 square miles in my entire life. I love that Enid is a little big town. It is small enough to not cause too much anxiety yet large enough to provide awesome things for the family to do.
