Standardbred Breeders of Ontario Association President Anna Meyers reports a flurry of ticket activity over the past 24 hours for Saturday night’s Awards Dinner at the Delta Hotel in Guelph, Ont.

“We’re hoping to have a full house,” said the Rockwood, Ont. resident. “We really do appreciate the support provided by all the donors to our auction. The stallion services represent some of the top stallions in the province and are always well received.”

Well over 60 additional items have been donated for this year’s silent auction, which fundraises for the provincial breeders organization. SBOA directors have outdone themselves by assembling several unique travel and entertainment packages, but promise something to suit everyone’s budget. Most of the items are listed here.

A special highlight of the evening will be dinner speaker Dr. Joan Zielinski, a marketing expert from Lake Forest, Illinois. She’ll discuss her firm’s findings and recommendations within reports commissioned by the USTA in 1991 and 2010.

Seats are still available for the annual event at 50 Stone Rd. W., but numbers need to be finalized with the hotel right away. The AGM is at 5 p.m., cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m.

Don’t miss out on a superb evening, reserve your tickets ($60, parking included), with Patti Cunning 905-854-1354 or Laurie Poole 519-678-3637 now.
