#1. World Show Special Events  

Canadians - as a benefit of your AQHA international membership, click here to obtain your complimentary admission badge to the 2014 AQHA World Championship Show and your invitation to the annual International Reception on Friday, November 21, 2014. 

The AQHA World Championship Show is shaping up to be an exciting event. Show entries are up from last year, and we've got more than $2.5 million in awards and prizes up for grabs. In addition to the top-notch competition inside the arena, you can look forward to some great new features and special events.

New features include a new Kidz Corral for kids of all ages to play and do crafts, and parents can watch the closed-circuit TV of the competition in the arena; a Champion Sports Zone on the concourse, where you can enjoy a full bar and kick back while keeping up with national sporting events; and live music from members of the popular Oklahoma City band, Prime Time, on Saturday, November 8, Friday the 14th and Friday the 21st in the Jim Norick Arena.

Also new this year, AQHA is bringing back organist Donnie Neff during the evening finals on the final three days of the show. And, as always, look forward to great shopping from the more than 140 vendors at the free trade show. Get the complete list of special events.
