Aggieville: a place to eat and drink at a local restaurant, then get some shopping in. And if you’re lucky, the sighting of cattle.

The fifth-annual Aggieville Showdown was held Friday and Saturday in Manhattan. It gives exhibitors across the nation an opportunity to show off their cattle in a different environment. Christian Calliham, a K-State graduate who is the event’s founder and executive director, said in a written statement the event is an experience unlike any other by bridging the gap between rural and urban communities in a “vibrant business district.”

“This fifth anniversary is a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved,” he said. “Nowhere else can you find a show that merges these worlds quite like we do, and we’re excited to celebrate this milestone with all who have made it possible.”
