Voice of the Tennessee Walking Horse 29
Tuscaloosa Show June 7-8 Slated As Record Breaker
Tuscaloosa, Ala., will be the mecca for thousands of Tennessee Walking Horse followers June 7-8 with a twonight show expected to break all records in that area for attendance, competition and interest. It is sponsored by the Junior Welfare Assn., of Tuscaloosa, a spirited band of young women who seem to believe their greatest aim in life is to help indigent children get a chance to make good in this world. Their goal for the show alone is $ 8,000 in the welfare kitty— a new peak.
There will be 33 classes— including events for Tennessee Walking Horses, Walking Ponies, 3-gaited, equitation, 3-gaited and 5-gaited ponies, roadster ponies, hunter, jumper, pleasure and Shetland entries.
The striking Tuscaloosa Riding Club provides improved facilities in all phases for exhibitors and spectators.
Information about the Tuscaloosa Junior Welfare Charity Show can be obtained from Mrs. Robert Snow, chairman, 45 The Downs, Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Voice Editor Ben A. Green and Mary Frances Green, Voice Secretary, will visit in Tuscaloosa for the entire week— helping promote the show in every possible way, selling books( Biography of the Tennessee Walking Horse) and magazine subscriptions with the Junior Welfare Assn, getting 20 per cent of all gross proceeds. Green worked in Tuscaloosa for 20 years with the Tuscaloosa News and Mrs. Green was born in that West Alabama area and lived there until she married Ben Aug. 17, 1961, and he made a Tennessean out of her.(“ Shelbyville friends say I earned the Oscar of the year by bringing Mary Frances to Shelbyville,” says Ben.)
