2023 SLOV PPG Regional Event
📣🏆Results are in for SLOV PPG Regional Event – Kingston Fair.. see below.. but first ☝️the SLOV PPG Chair spiel…
Firstly I want to thank everyone who attended this event! We had 39 entries this year and that’s a significant increase from other years! We had an incredible amount of talent, sportsmanship, lots of smiling faces and everyone had fun! We had clubs near and far away attend like Team USA and newcomers form Burnstown pony club which was great having them join in.. and dominate! 😮Saw some pretty cool things like vaulting, great pass offs, active coaches, cheering, and teams that worked well together! The on foot portion was pretty fun as well to see all the clubs mixing and mingling working as a new team! The volunteers were some of the best crew I have ever seen! Honestly thank you all so much that came to help and stayed all day running around with props etc ! You guys were awesome! Takes a large village to put this on and we did it together, well done team! 🙌
A pretty great person in this day you may want to thank, especially competitors coming home with handfuls of prizes is thanks to N-j Ainslie and the Kingston Fair board. No one on her watch leaves empty handed, especially me enjoying an awesome cookie tonight in my cooler bag filled with goodies! She organized tons of prizes and was also a great announcer and a BIG advocate for pony club! Thank you N-J! Also a special mention to Kelli Carswell for also coming up with armfuls of cool donations!
Frank Butara did a great job at scorekeeper, Terry Vieweg as your Chief steward/ starter. Ingrid Hafke Bill also did a great positive job as tack check! So many people to mention!
