Welcome to Beef Empire Days
40 Years... BEEF: New Tastes, Old Traditions
Beef Empire Days, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501c(5) organization that was formed 40 years ago to promote and educate people on the merits of beef and the cattle feeding industry. There are 12 voting board members and 3 ex-officio board members. Four members are elected or re-elected annually. These volunteers are selected from the ranks of the sponsors and they meet monthly to plan and direct the annual celebration.
There are over 240 financial partners who act as sponsors of every aspect of Beef Empire Days. Without the contributions of the many local and national sponsors the celebration could not survive. We always welcome new sponsors and would be happy to visit with you in more detail about the multitude of sponsorship opportunities.
This celebration also could not happen without the hundreds of dedicated volunteers who come together each and every year to organize, promote and host the fabulous events that make up the Beef Empire Days celebration. If you have an interest in a particular event or are interested in becoming a Beef Empire Days volunteer please contact the event coordinator of the Beef Empire Days office.
New for 2008 is a change for Chuckwagons in the Park. Come see the authentic cowboy chuckwagons and try the special beef recipes they will be preparing. It takes place on Saturday, May 31st at 11:30am.
The impact that the beef industry has had on Southwest Kansas and the entire High Plains area is substantial and we are extremely gratified to be involved in such an important part of agriculture and the area.
