(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Pony Shows Feature Of Fair Association Will County Fair Offer Big Prize Money Two outstanding attractions at the 1973 McHenry County Fair involve ponies. Both will be presented Saturday, Aug. 4, and judging by the response from last year's pony shows, this should draw a sizable crowd, Mrs. Iris H. Slovacek, reports. She is familiar with the fun and excitement that ac­ companies a pony show, and she revealed this week that the McHenry County Fair All Pony show has tripled in its size in the number of classes offered. The first of two pony shows will be the halter classes at 10 a.m. Aug. 4 on the east side of the racetrack. The afternoon attraction will be at 4:30 p.m. before the grandstand audience and feature performance classes. The McHenry County Fair Pony show was granted a point system from the American Shetland Pony club (C point show), Illinois Horse and Pony Breeders and Exhibitors (class B show), and Midwest Welsh Pony Breeders (class AA show). One of the primary purposes of the show is to show the McHenry County Fair grand­ stand audience that a pony is not just a "kid's" animal but a little equine that should be enjoyed by the whole family from tiny tots to grandparents. Many of the most ardent exhibitors are grandparents. Several of the innovations started at the McHenry County Pony show are now becoming an important part of all large pony shows in the Midwest and one of them is the combination Prize money in open class competition offered by the McHenry County Fair association will total $18,497.25, a tabulation that the 1973 fair catalog shows. In addition, considerable prize money is offered by the Fair association in such specialty events as tractor pull, $660; tractor rodeo, $160; horse show, $1,775 and two days of harness racing, $3,600. This totals $6,195 boosting open and special event prizes offered to $18,497.25. Largest amount offered open class exhibitors in the dairying where $3,312 is offered. First prize will ear.i $18; second prize, $15; third prize, $12; fourth prize, $10; and fifth prize $9. Exhibitors have sixteen Holstein classes they can enter. They have eight classes each for Ayrshires, Brown Swiss, Guernsey and Jerseys. "The dairy show ranks as one of the finest in the entire state, and the large number of entries class in which the same exhibitor and pony enter the ring in Pleasure Driving, change tack in the ring and finish the class under saddle. "This shows the versatility of the ponies," Mrs. Slovacek added. This year's show also offers 14 halter classes for both Shetlands, Welsh, and Grade ponies. Anyone interested in getting more information concerning the Pony show should call the chairman, Mrs. Iris Slovacek, Crystal Lake, at 459-4612. enhances the competition," says Charles Weingart, McHenry dairy farmer who is president of the Fair association.
