Napan Agricultural Show 2003
 
Mark August 14-17 on your Calendar so you won't miss the Napan Agricultural Show.
 
Back in 1974, we started the Napan Hauling Match and Country Supper to raise money for baseball and the community hall.
 
Each year, since that time, we have added events to bring us to where we are today with the Napan Agricultural Show.

A new and exciting change to this year’s schedule of events is the Light Horse Gymkhana Events.
 
The competition consists of three events: Barrels, Poles and Dash for Cash. It is an open competition with only ten pre-registered horses competing. 
 
Each event will be scored on a point system with the high point horse being the winner.
 
This is going to be a fast, exciting spectator event and will start at 10 am on Sunday, August 17th.

The NAS is very excited to present the second annual “Wild and Wooly.”  Five time slots have been set aside from Thursday to Saturday for this event.
 
The “Wild and Wooly” features local children of different age categories beginning at one end of the show ring and heading to the middle of the ring to catch a goat or sheep and convince it to return to the start line with them.

This event is full of laughs and entertainment and was a big hit last year.
