Grand Marshals

Stan and Judy Roskop are honored to serve as Grand Marshals of the Southeast Weld County Junior Fair and Rodeo – a place that isn’t just part of their story, but part of their family’s legacy and the community they’ve loved for a lifetime.

Stan grew up south of Hudson on the family farm, attending Hudson Elementary School, where he learned early the value of hard work and responsibility. Judy moved to Hudson in the third grade from the northern suburbs of Denver, and it didn’t take long for this small town to become home. Both graduated from Weld Central High School, and Stan went on to attend NJC. High school sweethearts, Stan and Judy have spent the last 49 years building a life together grounded in faith, family, and a deep-rooted work ethic.

They are the proud parents of two daughters, Lacie and Shelby, who were raised in the barns, arenas, and show rings of the fair. Both were deeply involved in 4-H and proudly carried on the family tradition as Fair Queens creating memories that would shape not only their childhoods, but the generations that followed.

Judy’s love for animals, especially horses, has been a lifelong passion. From years of showing and earning national recognition, to mentoring young exhibitors, she has poured her heart into the next generation. Today, that love lives on through their granddaughters, Kinley and Allie, who continue to walk those same paths, carrying forward the values and traditions that mean so much to their family.

Stan was raised by his father, George Roskop, to work hard, respect the land, and always give back to his community. And that’s exactly what he’s done. From owning and operating Tonville HVAC to supporting 4-H, FFA, local athletics, and serving for many years with the SEWC Fire Protection District, Stan has always believed in showing up for the people and places that matter most.

His commitment to the fair runs especially deep. Stan served on the Fair Board for 14 years, including as Board President during the transition to the new fairgrounds 20 years ago. He remembers that time not for how hard it was, but for what it meant. Neighbors became family, long days turned into lifelong friendships, and a community came together to build something bigger than themselves. It’s something he believes can never truly be replicated. As he often said with a smile, “Judy was a fair board widow during that time.” Stan also started the arena banner program so that local community members could show their support during the fair and rodeo. This has become a great way to help fund the rodeo events during fair.

One of the most meaningful chapters of that journey came years later, when Stan had the opportunity to serve on the Fair Board alongside his son-in-law, Trevor Schreibvogel. What started as service became something even more special a full-circle moment, side by side, working toward the same purpose, carrying on the same values. It wasn’t just about the fair it was about legacy, family, and passing something meaningful down to the next generation.

Stan credits everything to the unwavering support of Judy, their daughters Lacie and Shelby and their granddaughters Kinley and Allie, the reason behind it all.

Together, Stan and Judy Roskop represent the heart of small-town life where hard work, family, and community are everything. Their story is woven into the Southeast Weld County Junior Fair and Rodeo, and their legacy will live on in every barn, every arena, and every young exhibitor who walks through those gates for years to come.
