Asheville Alive 2011 Announcements July News Asheville ALIVE 2011 Celebrated the 29th Piedmont Classic Asheville was “ALIVE” to celebrate the 29th Annual Piedmont Classic. Congratulations to all exhibitors! Thanks to all the spectators, sponsors, vendors and our great show officials. A special thanks to the dedicated volunteers that gave endless hours to create Asheville ALIVE 2011 from decorating to ribbon presenting to all the details that create a show experience for all to enjoy. The competition was intense as youth, amateur owners and professionals competed to take home the Blue Ribbons at Asheville ALIVE 2011. The full show report is not ready at this time, but we wanted to share show highlights. The Honorable Mayor Bellamy of Asheville attended our signature event Black Tie & Boots Extravaganza on Friday night hosted by BMW of Asheville to experience the incredible Stallion exhibitions and fine dining by Frankie Bones Restaurant. Mayor Bellamy presented the “Official City of Asheville Proclamation for Asheville ALIVE Days” to Jill Graff welcoming all exhibitors and spectators to Asheville. The Mayor was in amazement as she enjoyed the horses on Friday night and she returned with her family to watch the classes on Saturday afternoon. The support of Mayor Bellamy is very appreciated and important as it helps further promote the Paso Fino horse beyond our show arena. The Stallions – The Food – The Music – The Dancers - The Excitement – The People – what a memorable evening for all ages! A big thanks to MIX WOXL/96.5 Radio for a Live Radio Remote on Saturday morning outside the McGough Arena – Live broadcasts invited the Asheville community to come out for the show with activities and free giveaways in the Tractor Supply Youth Pavilion, live DJ music, great food, a variety of vendors to shop and amazing competition every day. A special thanks to Tractor Supply Company as a Platinum Show Sponsor - visit TSC for all your farm and equine supplies ! It was nice to see so many newcomers in the stands that came out to watch the classes and to enjoy the Paso Fino Horses as much as we do. Thanks to everyone that took the time to share their horse stories with the visitors – we received a lot of compliments about how “friendly the breed is”. Asheville ALIVE hosted many special guests to the show including the Asheville Visitors Bureau – Explore Asheville and the newly appointed Buncombe County Sports Commissioner. We’ve been partnering with the Asheville community for marketing and promotion support for the Piedmont Classic and we’re looking forward to working with them for future events. Throughout the show, there were various media contacts in attendance to feature Asheville ALIVE 2011. A special thanks to Wayne Williams of Speaking with Horses for joining us to produce a new television show to air on Horse Racing staring in the fall 2011 – “Where the Horses Are”.

Hello everyone!
It is that time of year again where I start recruiting my ribbon folks for the Piedmont Paso Fino's big show - Asheville Alive! The dates are Thurs. June 23 thru Sun. June 26, 2011. I need everyone especially this year as I've got another job to do during the show. I am bringing my horse, Aries, and we are going to be doing Parelli Natural Horsemanship demonstrations during the show. So I'll need extra help this year as I won't be able to be down in the ring the whole time. Please invite your friends to help also. If I have one experienced person down there with a couple of new people that would be fine. Remember everyone over the age of 13 can present ribbons without an adult with them. Children under 13 must be experienced with Paso Finos and be accompanied out to the presentation lineup with an adult. We like for our presenters to wear black pants and a white blouse/shirt. Accessories such as hats, scarves, ties etc. are up to the individual. I am looking forward to a fun show this year! Talk it up with all your friends! Please contact Katy Nichoalds via email Ariespf1234@gmail.com or call (803) 673-2251. Cheers naturally, |
