Published: December 10, 2019 04:13 pm EST

A few seats still remain for the Monticello-Goshen USHWA chapter’s 61st annual awards banquet, which will feature Mickey Burke as the apex honouree.

Banquet chairman Shawn Wiles noted, “We have enjoyed one our greatest responses in recent memory, bolstered largely in part to this year’s deserving and popular slate of honourees.”

With 150 tickets sold, so far, USHWA has been fortunate enough to add another table to the banquet hall set up.

The schedule for this year’s festivities appears below.

Doors Open with a Cocktail Hour and Open Bar starting at 6 p.m. Banquet seating begins at 7 p.m. with the horse awards being presented. Dinner served at 8 p.m., followed by the primary honourees being presented their individual awards.

The activities of the Monticello-Goshen chapter, largely through advertising sales and banquet participation, have allowed the organization to make generous annual donations to both the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, as well as Goshen Historic Track.

In addition to the year-end awards for horses and horsepeople from the local tracks, the Monticello-Goshen chapter will also honour Mickey Burke (Lifetime Achievement Award); Noelle Duspiva (Excelsior Award); Barbara Martinez (Amy Bull Crist Distinguished Service Award); Larry Lederman (John Gilmour Good Guy Award); Purple Haze Stable (Breeders Award); Dave Brower (Phil Pines Award); Tony Verruso (Amateur Driver); Joe Chindano, Jr. (Rising Star), etc.

Tickets for the gala event are still available and can be reserved by contacting Shawn Wiles at 845-794-4100 Ext. 458) or email [email protected], or contact Chris Tully at 845-807-7538 or email [email protected].
