Midwest Charity Is a Go!



The 2008 Midwest Charity Horse Show is still a go. The Midwest Charity Horse Show board met on Tues. March 18, at its regularly scheduled meeting, to evaluate the most recent developments over the last few months at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The directors fully expect the fairgrounds to be up and running by its June 17-21 dates. The completion date for repairs of the 22 miles of high-voltage wire underneath the fairgrounds is May 16. Judy Kjellander, show manager and president added, “On behalf of the entire board of directors we are looking forward to once again hosting our world class equestrian event and despite rumors we fully expect the fairgrounds to be up and running well before our competition dates.”

Prize lists have already been mailed. If you want a prize list but didn’t get one you can contact Margaret Strano at margstrano@aol.com or 217-787-6745.
