The championship is held annually on opening day at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia. Just to get chosen as a competitor is an honor and 10 adult bid callers in the state earned the right to compete for the title. Nance competed against nine other auctioneers, coming from all parts of Missouri, as well as Iowa. Nance is pictured third from left.
