Admission is free so come on out and watch these beautiful hitches. The show will be held in the draft horse arena which is located in the northeast corner of the fairgrounds.
Saturday morning kicks off at 10 a.m. with the youth competing in a decorating contest which is tying tails and braiding manes and putting in the fancy mane rolls and flowers and the tail bows. They will also compete in showmanship classes which is a halter class.
