Celebration announces Halloween Festivities and makes a change in venue setup at Fall Classic
Monday, October 28, 2024
The Celebration is excited to announce that our fans will not have to miss out on Halloween festivities just because the industry we all love has a show. The Walking Horse Industry knows how to have a show during holidays and this will be no different. On Thursday night all kids in costume can go by the concession stand and receive some candy when they say trick or treat. The Celebration will also provide candy for its vendors to participate as well. If any of the tables want to participate in the trick or treat for the kids, we encourage you to please bring your candy. But wait there is more….
The Celebration is also going to add a costume class to the class schedule on Thursday night (between classes 14 and 15). Judging will be on the costume only and when you make your entry please give the name of the rider along with the name of your costume.
The Celebration has also made a decision to change the setup for the Fall Classic. For the safety of our exhibitors and spectators, the Celebration has decided to not construct a smaller ring, and to not have tables on the floor for this year’s Fall Classic. The Fall Classic has grown the last couple of years and the expectation is that we will have strong numbers again this year, and will need a full ring for our entries.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our sponsors and we are very grateful for your support.
