As most of you know, we lost one of our more colorful characters last year when Ev Speltz passed away. Ev was a horse owner, exhibitor, announcer extraordinaire, treasured Uncle to many nieces and nephews and an all around good guy. He especially enjoyed having an after show "Knooper" to relax after a long day with his many friends. To honor our good friend, we are having the Knooper Klassic at our show this July. The winner of the water glass class will take home an original drawing of Ev, penned by Louise "Weezee" Miner. To raise money for the jackpot, a Calcutta will be held prior to the class to give the crowd a chance to bid on their favorite exhibitor. Chuck Porter was in rare form as the auctioneer and as a result of his hard work at Summerfest, bidders raised $1200.00 of which $800.00 was donated to the Minnesota State Fair Fund. Lindsey Ward took home the original art work by Weezee and generously donated her portion of the winnings back to the Minnesota State Fair Fund. Thanks to all who participated and make plans now to join in the fun at Mid-Summerfest and the Minnesota Celebration Horse Show. All riders are welcome for this truly fun event.
