The 2008 Walnut Hill Farm Driving Competition is going to be exciting! We are looking forward to having the Commercial Division again this year. This division will feature a minimum of three classes limited to vehicles used for work, delivery, or in the trades. Drivers and horses will be asked to perform specific tasks as might have been seen with such a turnout in the 1890s. A coaching dog performance class where the entries are judged primarily on the performance and attitude of the dog will be held probably on Ascot Picnic Night. Any breed of dog will be allowed and any style of horse/pony turnout will be permitted. This class will be a lot of fun and is a crowd favorite!

We are pleased to announce that the 2008 Walnut Hill Farm Driving Competition judge's
panel will consist of Mr. Richard Nicoll from Williamsburg, Virginia, Ms. Muffy Seaton of Williston, South Carolina and Ms. Clare Wigmore of Salisbury Wilts, United Kingdom. We are honored to have Mr. Edward Young serving as technical delegate for the 2008 competition.

We are pleased to welcome back Joyce Geier with her world famous sheep herding Border Collies.

Friday evening the 15th will be the Wegman's Ascot Picnic Night. Step into the world of My Fair Lady while you cheer on your favorites, enjoy a gourmet picnic supper, and be thrilled by the romance of it all.

The Pittsford Fireman’s Band will again be joining us on Friday evening to entertain us during Ascot Night. On Sunday morning at 11:30 AM the Rochester Scottish Pipe Band will be performing. These groups are always a delightful treat for spectators and competitors alike.
