The rich history of Dressage at Devon traditions includes fun
and excitement for competitors, sponsors, volunteers and
spectators. Here are just a few of the events to anticipate:
• Ladies Day with Ladies Hat Contest - Held on Friday
Afternoon in the Dixon Oval. All ladies in fancy hats (with
exception to baseball caps) will be admitted to the show
for free on Friday. Sponsored by Dark Horse Chocolates, and
The Engraver, the annual Ladies' Day Hat contest aims for
creativity. In previous years, hats have adorned everything
from martini glasses to the occasional decorative squirrel.
The contest begins at 12:00pm. Prizes will be given to all
contestants. Award categories include: Most Creative Hat,
Most Outrageous/Unusual Hat, and Prettiest Hat.
• Boxholder Events – Each year boxholders enjoy catching
up with old friends and watching the show. They enjoy a
boxholder party on Saturday night and their competitive
spirit gets free rein in the box-decorating contest. On Sunday
morning, boxholders enjoy Mimosas on the Midway at the
Pub.
• Dancing in the Dixon – After the Grand Prix on Saturday
evening, the crowds are invited to join in the Dixon Oval for
music and dancing!
• Special Exhibitions – From Tommie Turvey to Guy
McClain to the Temple Lipizzans – exhibitions are a highlight
for equestrians and non-equestrians alike.
