The Celebration is looking forward to its 78th Annual World Championship which will begin August 24th. The Celebration takes seriously the feedback it receives from exhibitors each year regarding the class schedule. This year will feature five additional or changed classes to the event.
“We monitor the trends in class participation throughout the course of the show season and the preceding Celebration. These additions reflect some of those findings and we expect these additions to be well supported and entertaining for our spectators”, stated Celebration CEO Mike Inman.
