Samantha McPherrin and Royal Dual R were the high score of the day on Friday earning her a check for $400.00.
As always, our amazing and talented group of staff, volunteers and exhibitors made the weekend run smoothly and ensured that everyone had a great show. Mother Nature smiled down on us providing perfect weather for all three days. With every show this group keeps getting better and better. Thank you to all the Board members, staff, volunteers and exhibitors for your continued support – we can’t do it without ya!
