Celebrating 48 years, the Harlan County Shrine Club will host their annual horse show and fair at the Shriners’ Fairgrounds located at Putney on Thursday through Saturday. Club president William D. Howard said this year’s event will be an exciting one.
“The fair officially opens at 9 a.m. on Thursday with registration of fair exhibits taking place from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the fairgrounds,” said Howard. “Judging for all fair exhibits will be at 10 a.m. on Friday. The public will then be able to browse through the exhibits from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The Harlan County Extension Service helps us with this part of the event every year. “
An all-time favorite of the annual event is the stick horse extravaganza. This event is open to all children aged 2 to 12, which will allow them to ride their stick horses around the arena prior to the horse show, which begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
“The kids and parents really enjoy participating in this event every year,” said Howard. “It gives the kids a chance to be a part of the planned activities.”
For equine lovers, you don’t want to miss the exciting horse show part of the event at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
