Traveling Exhibit Schedule

"A Drive To Win" on display at the Saratoga Harness Hall of Fame

The traveling exhibit “A Drive To Win” continues its successful journey across country. Having been enjoyed by large crowds at the Rideau Carleton Raceway in Ottawa, Canada in the spring, it traveled to the Saratoga Harness Racing Hall of Fame for the month of June. Cobleskill Fair, Cobleskill, NY welcomed the presentation for several weeks in August after which it went to the Miami County Fair, Troy, OH. It is now set to appear, for the next two weeks, at Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs in New York State. It will then journey to The Little Brown Jugette Barn at the Delaware County Fair, OH for Jug week, September 15 through 24 before The Red Mile’s Stable of Memories welcomes it from September 29 through October 9. The current final date scheduled for 2009 will find it at Scarborough Downs, Scarborough, ME where it can be seen from October 17 through October 24.

The presentation, which has been made possible by the sponsorship of Hanover Shoe Farms, Hanover, PA, and is a production of The Harness Racing Museum in Goshen, NY, is dedicated to harness racing drivers and trainers who make every race possible but through circumstance, choice, design or fate, do not rise to stardom. Because of its success, the sponsor, Hanover Shoe Farms of Hanover, PA, has provided a regrant which will allow the very popular exhibit to accept applications for engagements in 2010.

“The Story of Harness Racing by Currier & Ives” continues to delight all. One of the three available components, consisting of more than thirty original Currier & Ives lithographs, has been in residence at the Nordiska TravMuseet, Arjang, Sweden since March. It is scheduled to travel to the Stockholms Travsallskap Solvalla race track in Sweden after November. A second component is currently on exhibit at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Art, New Castle PA. That engagement concludes on October 23. This free traveling exhibit is made possible by the CTW Foundation of Wilmington DE and Robert Tucker of Stonegate Standardbred Farms, Glen Gardiner, NJ. Applications are now being accepted for 2010 locations.

The museum’s Poster Series “What Is Harness Racing,” available free to fairs nationwide, has been enjoyed by harness racing fans at Monticello Raceway, NY in May, the Afton Fair, Afton, NY for two weeks in July and the Otsego County Fair, Morris, NY in the beginning of August. It will be seen at Richwood Independent Fair, Richwood, OH from September 2 through 7. This harness racing marketing tool is also provided, free of charge by the CTW Foundation and Robert Tucker’s Stonegate Standardbred Farms. Applications to host this informative promotional product are invited.

All the exhibits are available free of charge from The Harness Racing Museum, 240 Main Street, Goshen, NY; phone: 845.294.6330 or contact library@harnessmuseum.com for host applications and facility criteria.
