The outpouring of support for the WHHC was truly amazing. To start the competition off right, some of the local barns provided a beer & pizza supper Wednesday evening. We were so excited & hungry we forgot to take a pic but 20 large pizza’s were gratefully & quickly consumed.

Thanks to these barns for the yummy start!
