The St. George's 50th Anniversary Celebration:

The management of RMSJ is pleased at this time to announce the 50th Anniversary Celebration of St. Georges Stables that will take place at the 2009 Mid Summer Classic II being held July 8 – 12 at Anderson Ranch.

 

We have been receiving numerous emails from people inquiring about tickets for the Friday night dinner celebration and dance followed by a fabulous fireworks show. We thought that letting people send their requests in advance would the best way to handle the demand, as the 250 tickets are expected to sell out quickly. If you are planning to attend the celebration, please send an email to party@rmshowjumping.com with your indicated number of tickets, and someone will contact you to arrange the payment details.

 

The tickets for the celebration will be $40.00 each.

Following competition on the opening day, RMSJ will host a exhibitors welcome reception at the neighboring Sirocco Golf Course out on the deck. On Thursday, there will be no competitions in the two jumper rings. Instead, we will host the $25,000 "Derby Day" on the Grand Prix field at St. Georges Stables next door. On Friday evening, following competition, there will be a huge dinner and dance with a live band and fireworks show to celebrate, 'In Style" the 50th Anniversary of St. Georges Stables. And of course back by popular demand will be the different heights Team Cups and Grand Prix's on Saturday and Sunday, with total purses of $50,000 for the four events.

 

The Mid Summer Classic will also be using this tournament as a fundraiser to benefit the Joseph Selinger Foundation in memory of Frank and Selena's son who was tragically taken from us as a two year old, six years ago. Portions of the start fees on Thursday, as well as an auction at the dinner/dance should help us reach our goal of $20,000 to this fine charity that maintains a flower garden and walk at the Alberta Children's Hospital.

 

The prize lists for both Mid Summer Classics are posted on the RMSJ website, and the entries close on June 26th. Information will be found if you click here

Anderson, and 1.20m Chef d'equipe Mika Buckwold, all shared stories of their experiences while riding on National teams, parenting riders who have competed on National teams, and competing at or in Championship format events.

All in all it was a great evening with many great stories shared amongst all of the riders, parents, and sponsors alike. The dinner was also attended by a few representatives from the ASJA who came on board as a co sponsor of the program three years ago. They were pleased to hear that the founders of the Alberta Select Riders program are going to continue with the in the future and are pleased to continue with their financial support of the program as well into the future.
