The Wildcard Jackpot
Since making its debut in 2021, The Wildcard Jackpot has become a show exhibitors and families look forward to each year. Built around great competition, great people and a passion for the swine industry. The Wildcard offers more than just another weekend in the ring. It delivers an experience.
From the moment trailers roll in to the final championship drive, The Wildcard is filled with friendly competition, lasting friendships and memories that extend far beyond the show ring. Whether you're chasing banners, supporting your exhibitor ringside or reconnecting with friends from across the country, there's something special waiting for everyone.
In 2026, The Wildcard Jackpot begins an exciting new chapter as we head just north of the Florida-Georgia line. While the location may be new, our commitment remains the same, providing exhibitors and families with a first-class event built on competition, community and unforgettable experiences. We can't wait to welcome familiar faces and new friends as we continue the tradition that makes The Wildcard Jackpot a highlight of the show season.
Where Families, Friends and Great Pigs Come Together.
