Deadline  Approaches for Tickets to The Mid South Eventing & Dressage Association Weekend of Fun and Edutainment

Lexington, KY. January 27, 2009.  The deadline for tickets to the Mid South Eventing & Dressage Association (MSEDA) Gala Celebration on Saturday, January 31st at the Hyatt Regency in Lexington is Wednesday, January 28th.  The fun-filled event promises something for everyone beginning with an educational seminar and concluding with a fabulous evening of dinner, dancing and a wonderful selection of silent and live auction items.

David O’Connor gets the day underway after breakfast with a fact-filled educational seminar exclusively for MSEDA members that includes the latest topics affecting the sport.  David will present the honors at the Annual Awards Luncheon where members will enjoy a video presentation with their friends and family of some memorable rides this past year.

The evening will kick off with cocktails at 6pm followed by a dinner of fine food and wine with musical entertainment provided by the Jimmy Church Band.
The silent and live auction items will benefit the Kentucky Horse Park’s stabling project and additional enhancements to the dressage complex for the Alltech FEI 2010 World Equestrian Games and beyond. These projects rely entirely by private donations, which make this event especially important to the equestrian community.
