We want to give a HUGE thank you to all who showed up last night and helped make this awesome fundraiser a success as always! As a local Philadelphia non-profit organization our annual fundraisers are a huge deal to us and we cannot thank everyone involved enough for always coming out for them. We want to thank Miss Philadelphia herself, Miss Tynecia Wilson, for coming out as a special guest judge and for having the hardest job of the night with picking between all the amazing costumes we had last night to pick our winners! We also want to give the biggest thank you to our kids, parents, friends, and of course our wonderful horses for making this super fun event such a success once again and for putting up with our shenanigans, we truly could not get through these awesome events without our NWS community! Keep posted for our winners in a separate post😉
