We had 80 horses sign up for the annual Harness Racing at the Great Pocomoke Fair. This meant 17 races conducted from 12:30-4:45pm! Man, were those guys busy on the track and was it ever hot!
Many thanks to all of the racers who collectively took home purses totaling over $20,000.00. This was a record breaking year for entries and number of raises run. I gave out embroidered blankets to the winners as we posed for photos.
Thanks to Delegate Jim Mathias who made the trip down and helped me with the first couple of raises before traveling to Salisbury for the Little League Home Coming Parade. Also on hand was Councilmen Robert Hawkins, Bruce Morrison, and Rob Clarke. A special thanks to Jack Dolby, Chuck Barnes, Dean Ennis, Rev. George Tasker, John Smith, and so many others who make the racing possible and help make the fair such a success!
