The Pierce County Fairgrounds in Rugby hosted the 31st Annual North Dakota State Championship Horse Show from June 19-21, 1981, an event remembered fondly by participants and preserved in photos, trophies, and memories. Over 100 horse teams participated, showcasing reining, saddling, carriages, carts, and buggies in a lively parade through the fairgrounds.
Jason and Rohnda Miller from Rugby are seeking to connect with individuals who took part in these historic horse shows to collect and share stories and trophy memories. They invite anyone interested to reach out to them at (701) 681-0012.
