The goals of this event are to eat, laugh, have fun, have a horse show, share both the forest
and the school for model horse photography and recreation, to have educational and informative workshops by well known and respected artists in the model horse hobby, to learn from each other in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and to be able to purchase model horse related items by equine artists. The details of the 2017 gathering have not yet revealed themselves. It's looking like at least one day of workshops and one day of horse show with, weather permitting, outdoor photography opportunities all weekend. We need two judges - one for OF Plastic and one for CM/AR - if we are going to have a show. And we're going to need a class list.
