In 2022, the beloved Berrien County Fairgrounds was once again the site of an AQHA Specialty Show and an NSBA Futurity, thanks to the inventiveness of Gil Galyean, Jon Barry, and Charles Cannizzaro. Berrien County Fairgrounds was former site for the Tom Powers Futurity before it was moved in 2020, making it a special and nostalgic place for many.

“For over 30 years, some of the most memorable exhibitions of pleasure horses were held at the iconic Berrien Springs Fairgrounds,” says Gil Galyean. “With the return of qualifying requirements for World Championship shows, we thought it would be a great service to those chasing points to provide this new opportunity.”
The show was welcomed with open arms by exhibitors, and it’s back for 2023 to everyone’s delight. Get ready, as they have added new classes:
