The Standardbred Owners of Massachusetts held its annual membership meeting and awards dinner on Sunday (December 17) at Restaurant 45 in Medway, Massachusetts.
The schedule of the evening’s events included SOM’s annual meeting and its election of directors, which saw Nancy Longobardi and Paul Vacca re-elected to the board for another term.
Shortly after, dinner ensued and the rest of the evening was focused on the presentation of trophies to the Massachusetts-bred champions of 2017.
