Sam’s Town Show Down X’s Three - May 25th, 26th, & 27th, 2007

Hello Exhibitors,

I am so excited to tell you about this upcoming show.... Preparation for it has been a little stressful but exciting, as this is going to be a great “3 judge†showing weekend! I want to take some of your time to tell you what the show is all about!

First, the facility is a state of the art facility and the people there have been wonderful to work with…. This Expo host two large arena’s… We will be in the covered arena within the area of the stalls and RV spots. How convenient is that to be able to have your stalls ringside and your RV also… Some of the RV spots are at the end of the stall rows… with a total of 70 RV spot on the grounds. The stalling area is very nice with drop electric over the stalls, all stalls are matted and the aisle ways are wide. Plenty of wash racks and convenient restrooms with shower. The check in and show office will be ring side….

This show will offer 377 classes for the Mini’s, Shetlands, ASPR’s, the classes have been split by size. I think when you see the schedule you will realize we didn’t leave anyone out….

Saturday night you will not want to miss, as it will be history in the making…. I can assure you that no other show has offered an exhibitor party like the one we are going to have……. LIVE ENTERTAINMENT has been secured. We will shut down the show to introduce our entertainment guests then resume Liberty classes. Let me assure you the entertainment guests will stay the evening with us….

The party setting will include party buffet, so come with your appetites. The facility is not against alcoholic beverages as long as not for resale -- so you’re welcome to bring your own cooler of refreshments. Please remember that we all have to be responsible, so please appoint your designated walker/rider/driver?

As you know the theme for this show is a Casino / Western Type.. So we plan to decorate accordingly.

I have ordered a neat game called LCR that I think will be a blast anytime you and a few others feel like sitting down at the game table…. I will even provide the first roll of nickel’s to get started… I played this game the other night with some friends, I lost my socks with my nickels but I had a heck a lot of fun doing it.

We have secured a few nice Champion Show Coolers for some of the classes and Trophies for the some of the youth classes……… We don’t have the budget to trophy every class but I am trying to hard to have a nice presentation of awards throughout the show. Double TT tack will be there and with the Exhibitor Awards program, you can use your ribbons you earned towards tack purchases……. Now isn’t that neat??

We have secured the following vendors, Hoss Clipper House, Double TT, Monkey Doodles Shaved Ice and a food concession stand throughout the show weekend. Also we do have a Show Photographer – Jack Wilkins.

As you know this show is host to three judges, with two of the judges selected to judge for the National Miniature Show and The Congress 2007… So please if you want to have these judges see some of your finest headed for the national shows - be sure you have them on the trailer.

The show schedule is Friday, Saturday and Sunday…. Move-in on Thursday and if you’re out by Monday morning at 9:00 AM -- no charge for Sunday night stalling… So for those of you who are not going to head out Sunday afternoon -- your welcome to stay over at no extra charge for stalls. RV’s -- will have to pay that extra night….

Show flyers were mailed on Friday - April 13th, so if you don’t get a Sam’s Town show bill by the end of this week – Please contact me… Lea Dill -- 315 986 3026, 585 739 9554 (cell) [email protected] or [email protected]

I will be in Texas from the 19th until the 23rd, so when I get back I can send a show bill off to you…. Leave me an email with your address, please email one of my email addresses as I don’t always get on the forum.

Thanks for your time and hope you consider this show as we plan to make it a really fun weekend…… with three times the points in one weekend with three great judges.. Jim Bruggink, Ernie Lambdin and Roger Daulton.

Also for your information:

Don Haverly will be there at the show with his blade sharpening service -- also Double T Tack and Monkey Doodles Shaved Ice....

A new Pizza Place opened in Tunica, I called them -- they are sending me their menu -- Sounds like they have all kinds of pasta dishes and pizza of course... They will be the catering service for the Party Saturday night... :lol:

Is there anyone that lives near Tunica that could give me inside information on the area..

Need to find a bakery, Walmart, etc...

Sure would appreciate any information

Lea, I googled Tunica and came up with this website of area businesses....thought it might help. The Wal-Mart storefinder doesn't list a store in Tunica,MS when you type in the zip code 38676....as you can see in the link below it lists a map of the stores near by. Good luck at your show...it sounds really nice! Looking forward to hearing a forum report and some pics of the show.

Thanks so much for the information, I will be sure to get to Henando to Wal-Mart... I plan on taking a lot of picture and video of this show and especially the Saturday night party and entertainer we have featured. :lol: :aktion033:
 
Sounds like it is going to be a show that will be talked about for awhile. I can't wait. I have heard they have an awesome set up there. I have never been to a show that has live entertainment!!!!

I know that Peggy Haverly will also be there clipping horses for clients. I hope she has time to do mine so I can just enjoy all the fun. I see some gambling in my future :new_shocked:

If your interested in going, contact Lea, she is an awesome show manager.

Can't wait for a "mini vacation".

It sure sounds like quite a hoe down, Wish we could be there to see it. Good Luck Lea with the show, I bet it is going to be a good one.

I know what you mean Tunica sounds like it would be a great time, but Clarksville is much closer to me and with it only being performance and it has the classes that I need I'll be going there.

But I'm very curious what this entertainment is :bgrin
 
I only have 2 horses to take to Clarksville, I want to know what the surprise entertainment is too!!! I just don't know what to do!!!! :lol:
