Thank you to all of the folks who showed and also showed up to volunteer and staff our division!  Its success is a testament to the dedication of CB owners and fanciers in this region!  We would also like to thank all of the people who contributed to sponsor the Mid-Atlantic Cleveland Bay Show Series.  We would also like to give special thanks for professional-quality photographs from Christine Wolff.
