WOW!! What a Show ----
We welcomed in a record number of exhibitors and crowds to the 2007 Iowa Gold Star Arabian Horse Futurity over Labor Day Weekend. The barns were full of some of the finest Arabians and Half Arabians from all around the country. This year's Progressive Barn Party was the biggest and best one to date. If you were there, you definitely didn't leave that barn hungry! Our Live Stallion Presentation also stepped it up a notch by including a pyrotechnics introduction complete with confetti cannons that our audience won't soon forget. Our stallion auction completed the weekend by breaking all previous records and topped $360,000.00 in bids. If the excitement of the stallion auction wasn't enough -- the fun atmosphere of the 50's costume party added to the fun. We had many guests show up in poodle skirts, leather jackets, cigarettes rolled up in t-shirt sleeves, the Pink Ladies were there, and we even had an appearance by Wolfman Jack and a couple of pretty hot 50's car hop waitresses on roller skates!! Afterwards Terry Price "The Klone of Rock and Roll" entertained everyone into the wee hours of the night. This was a three day party that will stay in our memories for a long time. Keep clicking back in to see more updates in the next couple of weeks. We've just completed the "Who Bought Who" page so you can see who your competition will be in 2010. The full results of the show should be published later this week and I'll be adding pictures everyday as they come in. If you took some candid shots during the weekend that you think everyone would enjoy, send them our way and I'll get them loaded!
