On November 6, 2010, mark your calendars for the Twenty-Sixth Running of The Steeplechase at Callaway Gardens, a unique steeplechase series designed to link horsemen on both sides of the Atlantic. The Steeplechase at Callaway Gardens, known as the "event of the season" and always falling on the first Saturday in November, brings family and friends together to watch thoroughbred horses race over timber and brush hurdles. Tailgating together, either in tents, box seats or the infield, guests select their favorite horse in each of the five sanctioned races and cheer them to the finish; they entertain their children with Stick Pony races, pony rides, Jack Russell Terrier races, rock climbing wall and in the Kids Corral. There are bagpipers and blacksmiths, as well as the parade of the Midland Foxhounds, the Southern Views Hat Contest, the Sunny 100 Tailgate Competition and the Ledger-Enquirer Terrace Box Competition. Additional activities include two junior horse races for selected competitive riders sixteen years old and younger, the Galloping Gourmets Chef Competition and a raffle. The day includes a variety of entertainment for all ages. For more information, call the Steeplechase office at (706) 324-6252 or visit www.steeplechaseatcallaway.org.
