INSIDE STORY: Over 2000 of the worlds most beautiful and talented Arabians come to compete for the title of Scottsdale Champion. Divisions include: Halter, Hunter, Western, Equitation, Cutting, English/Country English, Reining, Cutting, Working Cow Horse, Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, Sport Horse, Liberty and Costume. Two expo tents contain 300 booths with clothing, jewelry, artwork and horse-related items. It’s kind of a fun place to shop. And there’s a whole different group of people at this event that you don’t often se elsewhere. Unless you’re involved in the horse industry, it’s not that easy to socialize at this event. ~RH |

| To benefit the Solid Rock
Foundation Saturday, April 5th, Dinner and Auction 6 pm Registration, Silent Auction, Hors D’oeuvres (no host bar) 7:30 pm: Gala Auction/Pairings Dinner (no host bar) J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa 5350 E. Marriott Dr., Phoenix Suggested attire: James Bond Chic – Casino Elegant $200 per person or reserve a 10 Agent Table for $2,000 INSIDE STORY: I’ve attended several of the jam sessions and went to the tournament a couple different years. The tournament is a ton of fun. The jam session is even more of a blast if you go with a date. It’s a great night to splurge and help a charity, the Solid Rock Foundation. It’s not really a great place to find single people. In the past, jammers have included David Cassidy, drummer Doug “Cosmo” Clifford of Credence Clearwater Revival, Pat Boone, Meatloaf and more. It’s hosted by Seinfeld’s J. Peterman/John O’Hurley. It’s worth the ticket. And the silent auction is usually pretty good and because of Alice’s love for golf, it usually has great rounds of golf! His team often wins the tournament. This year, 200 amateurs can golf along with the celebrities for $2,500 at the Wildfire Golf Club. Here’s the list of celebrities attending this year: A.J. McLean, Ann Ligouri, Bruce Jenner, Cheech Marin, Chuck Woolery, Dennis Haskins, Dick Butkus, Elke Sommer, Eric Dickerson, Fred Williamson, Gilby Clarke, Glen Campbell, Hal Greer, Jim Lobriola, John Mendoza, John O'Hurley. John Sununu, Ken Kerman, Kevin Sorbo, Lyle Waggoner, Mark Cordes, Mike "Black Jack" Wilson, Nehl Bobal, Neil Lomax, Pat Boone, Patrick Warburton, Paul Gleason, Richard Karn, Richard Roundtree, Scooter McGruder, Stephen Root, "Super Dave" Osborne, Vida Blue Wayne Rogers. Celebrity guests are subject to change without notice. ~RH |
