The United States Harness Writers Association’s annual Dan Patch Awards banquet will take place on Sunday, February 24.
If you are planning to attend the gala festivities that will honour the best equines and humans in the sport in 2018, room reservations at the luxurious host site of the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando must be made by Saturday, February 2. Rooms are nearly sold out, so make sure you don’t get shut out!
Rosen Shingle Creek hosted last year’s Dan Patch Awards banquet for the first time and the weekend was such a resounding success it was an easy decision for USHWA to return in 2019. This year’s banquet, which will be held in the Gaitlin B ballroom, will get underway with the Red Carpet at 6 p.m. (the awards ceremony will start promptly at 7 p.m.).
Be on hand when the Pacer of the Year, Trotter of the Year and Horse of the Year are announced!
The USHWA rate for a standard room at Rosen Shingle Creek is $199 (plus tax). For a direct link to the Rosen Shingle Creek special page to make USHWA room reservations, please click here.
Tickets for the Dan Patch Awards banquet are $175 (a filet mignon dinner is featured). Tickets can be ordered until February 15 by contacting Judy Davis-Wilson at [email protected] or 302-359-3630.
Remember, all attendees will receive a 10 per cent discount at all of the hotel’s restaurants, a 10 per cent discount at the Spa at Shingle Creek, and a green fees discount at the Shingle Creek Golf Club.
