All In One Fee:
 
Area 3 is pleased to announce that we will be the first shows in Ontario to offer exhibitors an “ALL IN ONE FEE” for 2012 at all 3 of our shows.
 
Here is the premise & process:
The "All In One Fee" is an opportunity for exhibitors to pay one fee to cover their stall, classes, and office fees.  This will allow the horse/any rider combination show in as many classes as they want with no increasing bills.  On show day, should you decide to add in a class, there will be no additional charge to you for any and all classes added.
 
For example (using Spring Classic fees)
Back number 1234 is entered in
Novice Youth Showmanship (with Exhibitor A) $40
Novice Youth Trail (with Exhibitor A) $40
Youth Performance Halter (with Exhibitor B) $40
Novice Amateur Trail (with Exhibitor C) $40
Open Western Riding (with Exhibitor D) $48
Green Western Pleasure (with Exhibitor D) $48

Stall $145
Office $40
Drug Fee $8
AQHA Fee $20

Total of example fees $469
ALL IN ONE FEE $365
Savings $104
And any additional classes would be FREE!
 
Rules for "All In One Fee":
1) MUST show in a halter class in any division
2) MUST PAY IN FULL PRIOR TO DEADLINES:
Summer Circuit - July 15, 2012 – ALL IN ONE FEE $245
3) No refunds after 2 weeks prior to show on stalls and 25% administration fee will be charged on all returned entry fees.
4) The Area 3 All Novice Show classes do not qualify for the "All In One Fee".  Separate fees need to be paid for classes at show office.
5) NSBA fees are not included in the All In One Fee
