Junior Auctions
It should come as no surprise that ShoWorks began over 20 years ago as a livestock auction system for junior shows. In fact, the success of ShoWorks in the fair industry came from its reputation of easily accommodating anything (and we mean "anything") thrown at it from the many ways an auction can be ran. It's why the largest sales in the US depend on ShoWorks!Junior Auctions more -

"Our first experience with ShoWorks was great. We will happily recommend it to anyone, especially those entrenched with WinFair (Blue Ribbon-Martech). We should have switched a LONG time ago. Online Entry is AWESOME! So many people have been telling us how great it is. Thank you for saving me HOURS of work." - Montgomery County Agricultural Center (MA) wrote,

"Wow! I loved the ease of the program! Everyone was very pleased with the paperwork and how smoothly everything ran.

"Once we moved to the ShoWorks software, all hardware and internal database crashes and errors disappeared, allowing us to focus on more important managerial issues rather than the software problems that used to plaque us before." - Katie Church - Minnesota State Fair (MN) wrote,

"I have just recently upgraded to Showorks. I love it. The ease of getting our entries in is so simple. My helpers have loved it. The personnell at Fairsoftware have been so helpful. They were visiting with me at 9:30 p.m. to get me running on the new program. This was the night before our show started. Thanks again for a great product and support." - Molly Kay – Island County Fair (WA) wrote,
"We had online registration for the second year this year. We had many positive comments. People like having the ability to register their exhibits at home and just drop them off on entry day. They have also entered exhibits in other areas because they see what's available when they are registering their exhibits." - Kate – Aitkin County Fair (MN) wrote,
"We have just completed our fair and would like to say that we were very happy with the program. ...things went more smoothly that we anticipated with no major glitches. Even our biggest doubter was impressed. Thanks for the program. Our lives were much easier." - Krista Davis – Hansford County Stock Show (TX) wrote,
"I just LOVE your program. The guys on the stockshow board think I do some kind of voodoo magic to get things done so quickly. I thought I was going to have to resussitate one of them the first year when I had the sale order set correctly within 5 minutes of our last class showing. It is great." - Helen Malone – Custer County Fair (ID) wrote,
"I cannot believe all the different ways ShoWorks can handle and personalize a sale…much better than any sale program I have used in my 17 years of billing for a 4-H/FFA Market Animal Sale. I don't think there is a sale out there that this program cannot handle the way they want to run it." - Thane Barnier – Sioux Empire Farm Show (SD) wrote,
"I just wish I'd taken the plunge earlier! The Quick Entries feature is huge, mainly because I can save different layouts. It's really going to streamline how we'll do things. Great job on the updates. Lots of little things that are really cool." - Kathy Landers – Bi-County Fair (NM) wrote,

"Using the iPads for ribbon results and placings at Fair this year was absolutely wonderful!" - Jordan Albiani & Joseph Alexandre – Cal Poly Western Bonanza (CA) wrote,
"ShoWorks proved to be a game changer here at Bonanza, and without your support during our transition, the show would have never reached the success we achieved. Our exhibitors and their families were huge fans of how smoothly the show ran with the help of our new sponsors, ShoWorks, as was our management."
