A fun show on Saturday, June 16 drew a nice turnout of horses and riders to Cox's Arena near Monongahela (Park Avenue Extension). The Sunday fun show featured an all-day card of events for pee wee, junior and senior riders.

The more experienced riders (juniors and seniors) took part in electronically timed barrel and pole events with ribbon awards for riders with the highest scores. There were 27 events on the card for the day—the big one being the jackpot barrels featuring a cash prize for the winner.
A weekend afternoon at Cox's Arena makes for a nice family outing for both riders and spectators. There’s no charge for spectators, and refreshments are available. It’s not uncommon to see riders on horseback lined up in front of the refreshment stand.
