Open Class Summer Shows for us "old" folks-- help me find some

[Shorthorns4us]

Just a quick post to see everyone can help me locate some Open Class Cattle shows that adults can participate in.  I am interested in just kind of cruising around southern Iowa, western Iowa-- not going to look to drive 4 or 5 hours, etc.
Looking for smaller club or county fair type shows-- State fair is out.

Or if anyone has any information on the following:
Guthrie County Iowa has an Open Livestock show-- I have found Last year's information on a website, but can anyone reference me to this years rules and entry info on the web or contact to call?

Thanks for the help!
Emily

You can go sweat for a few days the first part of August at Ozark Empire in Springfield, Mo.  Its plenty laid back but get miserable at times under the barns.

I'm from southern Iowa too and I have never heard of much. We just moved to Illinois and it seems like most of the county fairs around here have an open show which is very nice. Hope there is something out there for you.
