Shelbyville PTA Show, ‘Mother Of
Celebration,’ Scheduled May 25
The 31st annual Shelbyville PTA

“The Mother of the National Cele­
bration'—will be held Saturday, May

the first event at 7 p.m.
Mrs. Barbara X. Tilford, Horse
Show Chairman, said Carl Edwards of
Quincy, Fla., will be the Walking

rode Old Glory's Big Man to everlast­
ing glory and the World’s Grand
Championship for the J. T. Budd
Cigar Co. in the 1951 National Cele­
bration.
The PTA Show is believed to be
the nation's oldest conlinous show in
which the Tennessee Walking Horse
is definitely featured. The nearby
Lewisburg Show takes place on Fridav
night, May 2-1.
Classes lor this breed at the I9G3
PTA show will include seven.
There will be four gaited classes,
one fine harness, and one for roadster
horses in the 14-event show.
This PTA Show preceded the incep­
tion ol the Celebration by six years

ity staged by the Shelbyville City
Schools Parent-Teacher Assn. Post
