Summer Festival Website Provides Comprehensive Information
East
Dorset, VT—May 28, 2002—As the five-week Vermont Summer
Festival draws near, exhibitors and spectators alike can find all
the information they need on the user-friendly Vermont Summer Festival
website, www.vt-summerfestival.com. The 2002 Vermont Summer Festival
will take place July 10 - August 11 at Harold Beebe Farm, in East
Dorset, VT.
The
Vermont Summer Festival, which is New England’s largest “AA”
rated hunter-jumper horse show circuit, kicks off with the Manchester
Summer Festival, July 10-14. The action continues with the Manchester
Classic, July 17-21, The Valley Classic, July 24-28, and the Manchester
and the Mountains Horse Show, July 31-August 4. The action culminates
with the Vermont Summer Celebration, August 7-11.
The
easily navigated website offers viewers a look at the revamped schedule
for 2002, that includes exciting new classes such as the $5,000
Pre-Green Hunter Celebration, $2,500 Modified Junior/Amateur Hunter
Special and $2,500 Children's/Adult Hunter Special. The entire prizelist
can be found on the website. There is also a map of the redesigned
Harold Beebe Farm show grounds where one can see the location of
the new third all-weather hunter ring, three new all-weather riding/schooling
areas, and paddocks available for weekly rental. A downloadable
registration form, list of rules and regulations, and list of lodging
options are also available for the convenience of exhibitors.
Spectators
can check the results from last year’s classes to see which
Grand Prix riders might be returning to defend their titles. A USET-recognized
$35,000 Grand Prix and a $10,000 Mini Prix will be held each week,
as well as a $10,000 Show Jumping Hall Of Fame High Junior/Amateur-Owner
Jumper class, part of the Show Jumping Hall of Fame Jumper Classic
Series. Links to the sponsors for the Festival are also listed on
the site.
In
addition to learning about the exciting equestrian competition,
spectators and exhibitors can find information on all that the local
area has to offer, including fine dining, superb outlet shopping,
golf, tennis, hiking, canoeing, fishing, and more, on the website.
The website is regularly updated and includes all important news
and developments regarding the Festival.
“It’s
important for us to make information easily accessible to riders
who will be registering for or spectators who will be traveling
to the Vermont Summer Festival,” said Dottie Ammerman, co-producer
of the Vermont Summer Festival. “In this day and age, a lot
of people find it easier to just click on to a website than to have
to call to ask questions. We like to be sure that those questions
can be easily answered.”
