Grego Shows Heifer Owned by Jaylee Kelso

OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Jim Grego, R-Wilburton, on Monday, showed a heifer owned by Jaylee Kelso, a member of Quinton FFA, in the Oklahoma Youth Expo’s 22^nd Annual Legislative & Celebrity Showmanship Contest at the State Fairgrounds in Oklahoma City.

It’s reported that 148 legislators and state dignitaries competed in the contest.

“Jaylee was such a good sport to let me show her heifer during this contest,” Grego said. “I appreciate all her hard work, which has earned her a spot at what is known as the world’s largest junior livestock show.”

OYE annually draws more than 7,500 4-H and FFA exhibitors from all 77 counties to compete at the state championship. Since 2002, the expo has provided $2.3 million in higher education scholarships to more than 1,000 Oklahoma students.

Jim Grego serves District 17 in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. His district includes Latimer County and part and Pittsburg County.
