MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 24^TH, 2009 2 RING SHOW – SUNDAY ONLY

LOCATION: Pinal County Fairgrounds II Mile Corner Casa Grande, Arizona

ENTRIES: Must be post marked by May 18^th, 2009 or entry fee is double.

ENTRY FEE: $5.00 per animal per ring; $4.00 per animal per ring if animal is entered in both rings.

PEN FEES: Due to budget restraints Pinal County Fairgrounds cannot assemble pens for exhibitors this year. However, the panels will be stacked up in the barn area so we can put them together ourselves. On that basis there is NO CHARGE for pens, BUT, if you want pens you have to put them together and take them apart yourself. First come, first serve. Must bring wire. The panels will be available for set-up the weekend and week prior to the show. Please mark your pen areas clearly; be respectful of others. The Show Committee will assemble holding pens by the ring area so please keep those pens and area clear.
