This Saturday!! The weather should be beautiful. The horses and carriages are ready. We hope you are joining us to celebrate the importance of the horse in this country's history.
There is plenty of parking across the road from the fairground's main gate; if you park there, you can enjoy the car show on display inside the main gate as you make your way down to the historical village and the horse arena. If you need parking nearer the village, Gate 6 will be open with parking above the bank barn or the camping area.
Musicians are coming, and the chuck wagon is stocked for lunch -- including homemade pies! Special programming includes Horse Shoeing at 11 a.m., Work Horses at 12 p.m., and Mustangs at 1 p.m., followed by a Road Apple 50/50 beginning at 2 p.m. Carriage and wagon rides throughout the day.
