Where do I even start. First, Jaclyn Tassey and Nick Tighe, what an amazing show you guys ran, from start to finish. Your hard work, and dedication to our special show is above and beyond. You got together an absolutely amazing crew that made everything run as smooth as can be. Next, the committee members. All of you stepped up in a huge way. Our sponsors, without each and everyone of you, this show wouldn't happen. Last, but definitely not least, the riders, trainers, friends, family and supporters, this show would not have been so great without you. 2026 was an amazing year because of you all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love this show, and every person, horse and dog (even saw a cat) made our 90th anniversary the best.

Tonight we honor the memory of Ryan Fairclough. Ryan grew up at this show. For many years, he was an integral member of our crew. Those that knew him, remember his smile, and his ability to make you laugh. We will award $1000 to a crew member, staff or volunteer who, like Ryan, shows hard work, reliability, character, determination, pride in their work and they are a steady presence.
