Congratulations to the Shelbyville Horse Show board and all of those who are responsible for the show from the Shelbyville/Shelby County Visitors Bureau. Recently, the Kentucky Tourism Council selected the show as one of their 2010 Summer Top 10 Festivals & Events.
The event was submitted by the Shelbyville/Shelby County Tourism to a panel of impartial judges. Criteria for their selection included popularity of the event, its impact on the local tourism economy as well as cultural and historical significance.
Making the presentation tonight is Katie Fussenegger, Executive Director of the Shelbyville/Shelby County Visitors Bureau and Tourism Commission. Congratulations to the Shelbyville Horse Show board, hospitality workers and all those who make this exquisite event possible each and every year!
