Jacqueline Burke USA 1st Place - Outstanding Achievement Americana Amateur "Country Theater Seating" The image was taken at Horse Progress Days in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2024. Horse Progress Days is an annual exhibition of work horses and the mechanized farm equipment that they pull, and the exhibition rotates between the states having concentrations of Amish and Mennonite farmers, including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. The boys shown here are intently watching a horse training demonstration. Amish families attending tend to all dress in the same color; some families wear red shirts and dresses, others blue, green, orange, purple, etc. Horse Progress Days is a very colorful event! |
