If advance ticket sales are any indication, this year's Devon Horse Show and Country Fair might be the best attended of any show in recent memory. This year's show run from Thursday, May 21, through Sunday, May 31 at the Devon show grounds on Lancaster Avenue.

This year's show begins with the highly competitive Junior Weekend and rolls right into a full week of action at the Dixon Oval, highlighted by the newly named Sapphire Grand Prix of Devon on Thursday night. Classes include the high stepping American Saddlebreds, the popular and beautiful Coaching division, the professional hunters and so much more, a Devon Horse Show press release said.

According to show president, Rich O'Donnell, it's the tradition of the Devon Horse Show that brings people back year after year.

"The Devon Horse Show is a family affair for so many. Each year we see the children and now the grandchildren of folks that have attended the show," O'Donnell said in the release. "We are very excited for this year's event. In addition to the great competition, I think people will be very excited to see how beautiful the grounds look this year. Our team has been hard at work to make sure this year's show is the best ever. I think spectators, in particular, will enjoy the all new Devon Club, a great new place to watch and enjoy the competition."
