Make Plans to Attend the Celebration


of Champions Presented by Farnam® The 2017 National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Futu-


rity & Adequan® North American Affiliate Championships (NAAC) has joined hands with a new event sponsor, bringing a new twist to a well-known event. Presented by Farnam®, this year’s Celebration of Champions will be held prior to the section two Lucas Oil Level 4 Open Futurity Finals on Saturday, December 2, from 4 to 6 pm in the Super Barn. The Celebration of Champions presented by Farnam® will fea-


ture food and beverages in addition to a surprise thank you gift for attendees (while supplies last). When asked about the event and partnership Kevin Tompkins, Vice President of Farnam® Equine had this to say: “Farnam® is ecstatic to be able to help celebrate all of the champions throughout the NRHA Futurity. Holding this event prior to the crowning of the 2017 NRHA Futurity Champion could not be more fitting, and we can’t wait to experience the ex- citement and electricity of the exhibitors and spectators before the finals.” “The accomplishments of the 2017 show season culminate in


November in Oklahoma City. This special event is a celebration of all NRHA Futurity and Adequan® NAAC champions. NRHA is


excited to welcome Farnam® into our sponsor family and thank them for presenting the Cel- ebration of Champions,” said Sammi Miller, Director of Corporate Relations. All NRHA Futurity exhibitors and atten-


dees are encouraged to attend the event to cel- ebrate everyone’s success and kick off the excitement that comes along with the Open Finals performance. During the NRHA Futurity & Adequan®


NAAC, the world’s best reining horses and competitors come to Oklahoma City to com- pete for an estimated total purse and cash prizes of more than $2 million.
