STALLS AVAILABLE ONSITE.  They have done a lot of upgrades to stalls at Miller's Horse Palace.  They are all box stalls, with the exception of those under the cover along the alley going into the indoor arena.  They are all the same price this year, so we are reserving them based on when we receive the entry form/payment.  The first ones received get preference.  There are a limited number of electric hookups.  They will be given out based on who gets their entry in first.  THIS IS ALL DONE ON THE ENTRY FORM.  There are no portable pens allowed.
