Please note, the line-up for the Parade will be at 8 p.m., after the Barnyard Olympics. If the Pleasure Horse Show is still going on at the time of the parade, those horse exhibitors are excused. If a member is in the process of bringing in beef or dairy cattle at the time of the parade, those members may be excused. All other members should plan to participate in the Parade of Clubs. Line-up will be on the racetrack on the side of the grandstand toward Blaum Arena. Look for your club sign on the racetrack fence to know where to line up. The parade route will be a little different this year (see attached map). We have some fun surprises planned to turn up the fun for the parade!
