ATTENTION MAY SUMMER CELEBRATION EXHIBITORS:
Many of our members are aware of the press release from the Arizona Department of Agriculture dated May 1, 2015, regarding confirmed cases of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus in Maricopa County.
Upon the recommendation of local veterinarians, the APHC Executive Board voted on 5/4/15 to postpone the APHC Summer Celebration in the best interest of the health of our exhibitors’ horses. While we expect this to subside, we wish to be as cautious as possible out of respect for our exhibitors.
We may have some postponement dates for you very soon, so please watch our website and Facebook page for updates as we determine alternative dates.
If you have submitted stall payments, we will be notifying and working with our exhibitors as quickly as our volunteer time allows, but will be as diligent as we can to get refunds completed. Your entries will be automatically canceled by our show secretary.
Please share this information as it is stated so there is no misinformation being spread. Our concern for your horses’ health and well-being is of utmost importance to the Arizona Paint Horse Club.
The APHC Summer Celebration was originally scheduled for May 9-10 at WestWorld in Scottsdale, AZ with judges Delena Doyle and David Parlier officiating.
