I live about 20 minutes away from the KY Horse Park...and probably will not 
attend. because of the outlandish prices.. I had hopes of getting a booth 
there...you should see those prices!!!!!  Way, way out of my range, as is 
the case for most artists...a real bummer.  It would have been more cost 
effective to attend in Euorpe!
