The KARABS annual awards banquet was held on Saturday, February 6, 2010, in the Campbell
Room of the Holiday Inn Cincinnati Airport in Erlanger, KY. It was an evening filled with good food,
good friends and good fun despite the snowy weather.
Club members enjoyed viewing a nice video from the Arabian Horse Association on the 2009
National Endurance ride. The club was treated to a special slide show set to music. The 10 minute
slide show, put together by Cindy Ryan, featured photos of club members, their horses, their other
animal friends and the 2009 Medallion and Awards Banquet.

for the show. On Saturday, Susan Witte will judge the Medallion I, and Sport Horse and Dressage
classes will be judged by Dagmar Zimmerman. Sunday’s show, Medallion II, will be judged by James
Brown and will again include National Show Horse classes. Duane then surprised two club officers,
Cindy Ryan, Vice-President and Membership chair, and Bev Broughton, Treasurer and Medallion
