As we have done in many recent years, we showed a hype video before the final class on the last Saturday night before Labor Day. This year was no different, but the message behind the video was.
Rather than focusing only on the significance of the final class, we wanted to celebrate what makes the Celebration itself so special—and what it has meant to so many people for 88 years.
The Celebration is about much more than what happens in the ring. It is about tradition, history, the horses, the people, and a community that continues to come together year after year to keep this event alive.
Most importantly, the video was our way of saying thank you. Thank you to everyone who supported the 88th Celebration in any way—whether you were an exhibitor, sponsor, volunteer, fan, local business, community member, sponsor or simply someone who came out and enjoyed the show. Every bit of that support helped make this year's Celebration so special, and we are incredibly grateful.
