Please be sure to fill in the information requested on the tickets as soon as possible to ensure the proper information is retained for your records Table space is limited. Each entrant will have an 8 foot banquet table to set up, so please plan accordingly.

It can only be determined after the cut-off date for entries. There will also be a ribbon recycling program. Please turn in any unwanted ribbons or rosettes/trophies to the show coordinator at the end of the show. This will help defray costs of future shows. Multiple judging tables will be used to save time. As one class is being judged the setting up for the next class can be done on the other table. Classes may be split or combined if number of entries warrant. If there are too few entries in a particular class, the judge may decide to combine it with another similar class in order to warrant first and second place winners a fair NAN qualification. Lunch: Coffee, snacks, soft drinks, and water will be available throughout the day. Instead of serving a "one size fits all" lunch we will provide phone numbers and menus for nearby restaurants that can deliver to the show hall. Of course we will still offer drinks and snacks throughout the day, along with our popular, traditional dips of chicken salad, lobster salad, and pimiento cheese. Some gluten-free snack selections will be available. If you have other dietary restrictions please let us know! There are numerous restaurants on Cumberland Avenue approximately one mile from the show hall. There will be a 45 minute break around 12:00 pm (or when it is convenient to break). At which time we will have the Fun Classes showcased. FUN CLASS DURING LUNCH: Minis are taking over The Smoky Mountains: Bring all your mini army (stablemate and smaller) that is ready to take over the Smoky Mountains Conga/theme: all congas/themes welcomed with a minimum of three (3) horses. Proxy Showing: Proxy showing is when you are not able to attend a show in person but will be sending one or many horses with someone else. You still need to fill out and send in an entry form. Make sure to include the name of the person that will be proxy showing your horses for you. This is not optional, it is REQUIRED that if you are sending a model to this show via proxy you still have to register with the show or the results will not register properly. It's only $10 base fee and $3 per model up to ten models to enter as a proxied shower. Rules: : No set-ups or handlers in halter classes. Halters and bridles, if used, must be appropriate to the breed, fit well, and must be put on in a timely fashion. Collectibility Cards: : If you want the collectibility judge to consider your model, you must provide a 3" X 5" index card explaining why it is collectible. (i.e "Breyer SR 1 of 350 made). There are so many new models created every year that it is almost impossible for any judge to be familiar with them all. Fragile models may be laid on a towel or a piece of felt. The judge reserves the right to pick up and inspect these models. No radios, pets, or smoking is allowed in the show hall. Please also no small children. Bad sportsmanship and poor conduct will not be tolerated, and may be cause for dismissal of those entrants from the show hall. Please also show only your own models or those that you are proxy showing with the fees paid. The show cannot survive without the entry fees and the donations from generous people like you. The decision of all judges is final. If you have any questions regarding your entry, address them to a judge immediately after the class is pinned, while the reasons are fresh in the judge's mind. The show coordinator, judges, and hall cannot be held responsible for loss, damage, theft, or injuries to participants, their property, or to guests. MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!!!
