Sandy Backer - Travel Consultant and Show Secretary
Monday, May 23, 2011


Sandy Backer-Cherry is well known in the horse show industry as a show secretary and oftentimes the right hand of Beth Snider in the office at shows like Lexington Junior League and the UPHA/American Royal National Championship. She has recently gone to work for Midwest Travel Consultants, a full service travel agency in Jefferson City, Missouri, but will still be seen all over the country, conducting her usual duties as a show secretary and results tabulator.

Midwest Travel Consultants prides itself on its customer service, and having Backer-Cherry as an outside salesperson will be a great asset in keeping that tradition intact. Missy Hughes recently booked her honeymoon trip through Midwest Travel and also has a bridal registry through the company. Visit their website at www.MidwestTravelConsultants.com to learn more about your next vacation! You can also contact Sandy directly at (573) 220-3430 or SandyBC09@gmail.com.
