Based on the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control Prevention (CDC), the Museum will not be holding large public events including bus tours, school field trips and special events for the next 45 days.

In the event of the show not moving forward, AQHA would notify exhibitors as soon as that decision was made and refund exhibitor show fees.”
