3 Welcome to the 2015 Grand Slam!! It is our 43nd Annual Two Year Old Futurity and the 48th Annual Mid-America Fall Show. The board has worked extremely hard this year to offer our members more opportunities to enjoy their fox trotters. First and foremost, of course, is The Mid-America Grand Slam, one of the premier Missouri Fox Trotter shows of the year. Because of the generosity of our sponsors, both businesses and individuals, we have lots of opportunities for fun at our show. We are offering more variety than ever in our classes. New this year are the TBA classes; the MFT Stallion Tour Offspring Class and the Out of State Class. The Pony Triathlon is back this year, too. But that s just the beginning. This year, for the first time, we are hosting a stall decorating contest. Be sure to check out how creative our members are in all three divisions; youth, stall front, and stall row. For members interested in trying new disciplines with their fox trotters, there is the Western Dressage Clinic on Thursday and Friday afternoon. We have added a new award this year, the Youth Sportsmanship Award, which will be presented on Friday evening. The Ladies Fox Trot Championship Class has added a traveling trophy in memory of Fran Peyton, a long time fox trotter supporter, which will be awarded Saturday night. There will be a quilt raffle and a gun raffle, and don t forget the 2nd annual Kiss the Pig Contest! This year s contestants are all MFT trainers, so you won t want to miss that! Topping it all off, we will crown the new Four-Year-Old Maturity and Two-Year-Old Futurity Champions. We are always excited to see our members and friends and to watch them put on good performances in the ring. This year, it will be even easier to follow their accomplishments at the show. We are going to keep our Facebook page and Twitter account live with class announcements, pictures and encouraging words from all those observing, participating, and following those in the 2015 Grand Slam. Watch Facebook and Twitter for updates. The Mid-America Board would like to say a big thank you to the many members that turned out for the spring kick-off BBQ and Trail Ride. The weather was better than expected and the food was delicious. Thank you to Karen Graddy for graciously providing her barn for the event. It was a great way to start show season and we hope this event becomes a tradition for our organization. Don t forget about the annual meeting, come join us for dinner and socializing. We ll see you there! Special thanks to Samantha Connelly, DDS, and the youth supporters that add so much to the youth classes at our show. Thank you to all of our sponsors and advertisers whose ads you will find in this book, on our Facebook page and website. Please let them all know how much they are appreciated. Respectively, Your 2015 Mid-America Board
