OVER $400,000.00 COLLECTED AT 2008 STALLION AUCTION!

Magnum Psyche Breeding Sells for $50,000.00!!!

We welcomed in a record number of exhibitors and crowds to the 2008 Iowa Gold Star Arabian Horse Futurity over Labor Day Weekend.      The barns were full of some of the finest Arabians and Half Arabians from all around the country.  Stall count was at an all time high of 590.   2008's Progressive Barn Party was the biggest and best one to date!!    Food was available in the Horse Barn, Cattle Barn, AND Vendor Barn.   Our 2008 Live Stallion Presentation also stepped it up a notch by introducing RFD Television star - Tommy Garland - who carried our flag during the opening ceremonies.  We had 34 stallions participate in the Thursday night live presentation -- the most stallions we've ever had perform in one night.   After the presentation, Midwest hosted the DA Valentino party at their stalls and did private showings of Valentino at that time.  On Friday the Gold Star hosted the prestigious Magnum Psyche Futurity with Vico Rocco, Bob Boggs, and Mr Las Vegas -- Wayne Newton as judges.     The room was PACKED with spectators!   We had Channel 13, Fox News, KCCI Channel 8, RFD TV, and PBN all out with cameras filming all the activities on the fairgrounds.      Radio stations were also advertising our event across the midwest.  Our purebred stallion auction completed the weekend by breaking all previous records and topped $380,000.00 in bids.   That total, added to a record final total for the Partbred Auction threw the complete total over $400,000.00.   If the excitement of the stallion auction wasn't enough -- the fun atmosphere of the Pirate costume party added to the fun as well as our Capt Jack entertainer!!    We had many guests show up in boots, bandanas, eye patches, and dreadlocks.    The Gold Star Girls outdid themselves as the Red and Black pirate wenches.   This was a three day party that will stay in our memories for a long time!!
