An exhibitor may have a family member or friend work their segment, but the family member/friend MUST BE listed on the sign up sheet at the show office, stating their name, the work segment(s) and the exhibitor for whom the work will be performed.

Although we will track each exhibitor’s points, as usual, show management must be being informed of those wishing to pursue year end awards and work segments performed.


:: The Adam Chronister Award ::

Must Be a Sooner ApHC Member

This annual award is presented to an individual who has worked "to promote the best interests of the Appaloosa and Sooner ApHC", for the year the award is presented. The award is given in memory of Adam Chronister, by Jim and Donna Chronister, to honor an exemplary Sooner member.

The Sooner ApHC Board of Directors will review the service of all members and bestow this award to the individual found most deserving of recognition. As it is a "traveling" award, the recipient keeps the plaque for the year of award, then it moves to the new award winner. Each recipient receives a certificate of award for permanent retention.
