The 2016 Iowa Show Circuit kicked off Sunday with a Level 1 (Novice) Show in Des Moines, Iowa. Lots of new exhibitors attended, from as far away as California and Canada, in addition to those who have been coming for years. “We had over 500 stalls reserved,” says Kris Moorman.
Level 1 exhibitors received great awards including embroidered totes of Ultra product provided by Schneiders Saddlery, Cinch gift certificates, Simply Soothing fly spray packs, Harris Leather working head stalls and reins, and trophies and plaques from Iowa Show Circuit.
