bus Ohio. The well-being of our workers, ex- hibitors and attendees is our highest priority and based on the information we have today, the risk is simply too great. Thank you for un- derstanding this difficult decision. “It is a sad day with the cancellation of
the 2020 All American Quarter Horse Con- gress. Hearing all the concerns from the local and state health departments, and the CDC, it was the right decision to make to keep people safe and healthy,” said Dr. Scott Myers, CEO of the Ohio Quarter Horse Association. “It is disappointing to all who worked tirelessly in preparation for this year’s Congress, and I want to personally thank you for your contin- ued support. I look forward to the biggest and best Congress ever in 2021.” Sincere thanks to the many loyal Con-
gress sponsors, exhibitors and supporters. We are in this together, our industry is strong and rest assured, the Congress will be here in 2021. Details on moving forward and further updates will be available on quarterhorsec-
ongress.com .
