The Executive Committee of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders and Exhibitors Association voted this morning to ask the Celebration to resign from the Unity Committee. The vote was reportedly 8 to 6.

As a courtesy, President Marty Irby informed Celebration Board and Unity Committee member David Howard of the EC's action at approximately 11:15.  The Unity committee met this afternoon at 1:30, followed by a "Meet and Greet" function in the Blue Ribbon Circle on the Celebration grounds.

Official Motion: To approach the Celebration to leave the Unity Committe; if they refuse, we (TWHBEA) leave.
