On March 1, 1940, this young man and his horse were awarded a ribbon. The ribbon is attached to the horse’s mane. In 1940, Little I was held in the Livestock Judging Pavilion, now the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum. In 1942, due to the growth of the show, Little I was moved from the Livestock Pavilion to the Gymnasium/Barn. For some categories the preliminaries were still held in the Livestock Pavilion and the finals were held in the Gymnasium. In 1940 the Little I program cost 5 cents in 1942, the price of the Little I program was increased to 10 cents.
