Holiday Inn Downtown has offered rooms at $72 per night for double occupancy, normally priced at $119 a night. Call them at 479-783-1000 for reservations and mention the model horse show. WHY SHOULD YOU COME TO OUR LIVE SHOW? If you have never been to a live show, you are missing out on a really fun event! At a live show, you not only get to compete in various classes with your models, but you get to meet other people who share your interests, and you get to see a wide variety of models, tack, and other accessories, all in person! Don't worry about the basic procedure for live showing...it is quite simple! For halter classes, all you do is take your model(s) to the judging ring and place them on the judging tables. For performance, you will need tack, and in some classes, obstacles and other props. For these classes, you tack up your model in the appropriate tack for the class and set the model up in the judging ring, along with any needed props. Our perfomance competition is open to everyone; however, the halter classes are composed of three divisions - a Junior Division for the first time competitor and then two Open Divisions - one for OF models and the second for CM/Resin - for anyone whether you are a first time or seasoned competitor. Junior Division winners are not NAN qualifying classes; however, all other first and second place winners are NAN qualified. JUDGES: Rebecca Hileman, Lyn Norbury and Lori Batchelor AWARDS: Flat ribbons 1st-10th place for Junior Division and 1st-5th place for Open Division. Triple streamer Rosettes to all Champions and Reserves Triple streamer Rosettes to Grand Champions and Reserves SHOW TIME: The hall will be opened at 7:30 AM Saturday morning for set up. Show will start promptly at 9 AM. If you'd like to store your models Friday night at the community center, let me know and we'll make arrangments for you to do that. CARDS FOR MODELS: Each model will need a 3 x 5 card for each horse for each class they enter. On one side put the following information: model's name, breed, and gender. On the other side is your name. Do not put an explanation of the class on this card, use a seperate card. TABLE SPACE ALLOCATIONS: Each exhibitor will be entitled to a 8 ft table. When you check in, you will be notified as to where your table is located. If you have any special needs (health reasons), please note this on your entry form. If there are others attending that you would like to be seated by, just make note of it on your entry form and I'll do my best to accommodate you. SALES TABLES: Exhibitors are welcome to bring sales items along and display them on their tables. For anyone who is not a paid exhibitor but wishes to come just to sell, there is a $20.00 fee for one sales table. RIBBON BUY BACK PROGRAM: Not everyone has a use for ribbons won, or wants to keep them. If you are one of these, we will buy back your ribbons and rosettes, as long as they have not been written on. Buy-backs are 5 cents per flat ribbon and 50 cents per rosette. Buy-backs will be conducted at the end of the show or if we run out of a placing. LUNCH BREAK: We will break for lunch around noon for about 1 hour. RAFFLE ITEMS: Please bring any donations for raffling with you to the show. CLASS ENTRY LIMITS: Halter: 4 models per exhibitor per class. There is a 5 minute time limit between classes. Performance Classes: 3 models per exhibitor per class. We will allow 10 minutes to set up between classes. Showmanship Halter: 2 entries per exhibitor per class. SHOWMANSHIP/SCENE CLASS An "entry" may be comprised of more than 1 model; however, only 1 model per entry will be placed (in other words the extra models in the entry are considered props). This is more than just putting a haltered model on the table (this is a halter scene class). The object is to present your entries to their best ability. Props, including doll handlers are encouraged. Use your imagination!! Some suggestions: Barn scenes, pasture scenes, halter setup with handler, training scenes, etc. Exhibitors will be allowed a half table for their entry. ANYTHING GOES: This is strictly for fun and only one entry is allowed per exhibitor. Entries do NOT have to be horse related and will be judged by all exhibitors and spectators. We will put paper cups by each entry and voters will put loose change into the cups of their favorites - please don't "vote" for your own entry. The winner is the entry with the most change in their cup at the end of the show, they get to keep their money and everyone else's goes to the riding club. CHAMPIONSHIPS JUDGE OFFS: 1st and 2nd place models will be judged for the championships and reserves listed in the class list. We will call back those models with the ribbons, when it is time for the judge off. Keep track of your horse's ribbons. HOW TO ENTER: Pre-entries and fees MUST be postmarked by this date and submitted to the Show Secretary. Send completed entry form with fees. Post-Entries: Entries postmarked after November 30, 2008 will be subject to a $10.00 post-entry surcharge. If you will not be paying your fees until the day of the show, you must notify the show secretary by phone, e-mail or by mail of your intent to attend. It is very important that I know how many exhibitors to expect, so that we can arrange for additional table space if needed. We will see you here for a fun day of competition!
