Country Classic starts Aug. 23 Contined from pg. 1 Prix on Sunday, Aug. 27. The show resumes Wednesday, Aug. 30, culminating with the $75,000 FEI World Cup Series qualifier on Sunday, Sept. 3 beginning at 2 p.m. It's the first time that Halton Place has hosted an event of this international stature, with riders vying for spots in the 2007 World Cup finals. Some of Canada's veteran riders, such as Ian Millar, Jill Henslewood, Mario Deslauriers and Eric Lamaze, won't be at the Classic as they're in Germany for the 2006 World Equestrian Games, but Krueger said that the $150,000 total purse prize for the fortnight will draw an elite-level field with up-and coming stars including Amy Millar for the feature events. Approximately 500 horses will compete in one of the dozens of classes for both youth and adult riders, amateur and professional. Three main rings will be used for the hunter and jumpers, which include Rising Star, the Canadian Jumper Development Series, Jump Canada Grand Prix Series and the $4,500 Marquest Mini Prix. Admission to the weekday events is free. Cost is $5 per spectator or $10 for a family pass on the weekends. Halton Place is located on the 15th Sideroad between Trafalgar Rd. and Hwy. 25. Organizers of the beach volleyball tournament are also accepting team registrations. For more information, visit the website www.haltonplace.com, email info@haltonplace.com, or call 905-873-2316. ( Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Boileau wish to announce that the marriage of their son Ian to Jennifer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Fear took place in Windsor, Ontario on Aug. 12, 2006. Andrews 21st at world meet Georgetown's Kaitlyn Andrews wasn't at her personal best but still turned in a respectable shot put toss at the IAAF World Junior Track & Field Championships in Beijing, China, finishing 21st out of 29 in the women's division. Andrews, 18, a recent Acton High School graduate, saved her best throw for her third and final attempt, which measured 13.99m, almost four metres behind the winner from Holland. The seven-time OFSAA gold medalist's best-ever throw in competition is 14.59m. Andrews's father Bruce said that because Kaitlyn competed early on in the meet, she was one of five athletes chosen to represent Canada at the opening ceremonies and now has time to do some sightseeing before returning home Tuesday. She'll have little time to relax, however, as Andrews begins classes at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas a few days later.
