ATTENTION EXHIBITORS: NEWS RELEASE FROM BOYS AND GIRLS HOME EXHIBITION CENTER- We would like to introduce our new Vice President, Tommy Huggins.

He has been hard at work doing improvement on the horse facility. More clay has been added to the stalls in the new and old barns. The doors in the old barns have been replaced. The announcing system has been upgraded in all the barns. They are now looking at the small stalls in some of the barns to see what they can do to make them larger. Hopefully, the larger stalls in the old section will be done before the show season starts. The second big announcement is the hiring of a new manager for the facility. Chip Barnes is now back on board.

The Borderbelt Horseman's Association would like for you to join us at the Spring Fling on March 7,8,9 and the Carolina Midwinter on March 28,29, 30. See Schedule of Events page for show bills.

The Carolina Midwinter will be a combined show with AQHA and Palomino classes being offered. Hope all of you will join us. We will be giving really nice All Around Awards and choice of money or ribbons for all the classes thru sixth place. Don't miss out.

The North Carolina Quarter Horse Association has partnered with Professional's Choice in the Grass Roots Awards Sponsorship program, or “GRASP” for short! Anytime one of our NCQHA members purchases Professional’s Choice products they earn Rewards in the form of checks, sent directly to them from Professional's Choice. For every dollar a member receives back from Professional's Choice, an equal dollar amount is deposited into our Affiliate’s GRASP account as Award Credits. Our Affiliate can redeem its GRASP Award Credits for products we can use as prizes, incentives or year-end awards. Essentially, you are rewarded twice. Visit their web page at: www.profchoice.com/grasp, for all the details or call Barbara Gallagher 800-331-9421 for more information.
