 One of the show entrances is off Maple St which I think is just off
 Rt 20. The show is June 6 (sunday).

Ok, I have my prize list here now.
The map shows the showground entrances off of 
West Main St and Maple St.
West main St goes west out of Shrewsbury Ctr
and the show grounds will be on your left.

To get to Shrewsbury Center take Rt 140 (south from Rt 290
or North from Rt 9)

    Thanks for the directions.  Hopefully the weather is accomodating and
    the turnout is a good one.  I've always enjoyed Worcester Foundation
    Horse show ... especially the jumpers!
    
    Hope to see some other Digital employees at the show!
    
    Have Fun!

There is only one jumper division this year; Open Jumpers.
It's in Ring 2 (the jumper/eq ring) towards the end of the day.
     
I'll be riding "Harvard Square" in the jumper/eq ring and the hunter 
ring doing the amateur adult classes. Ed will be riding "Kendall Square"
in Ring 4. You won't be able to miss Ed. Unless they have draft horses
at this show, Ed's horse will most likely be the largest one there. ;*}
Stop by and say hi if you're in the neighborhood.

   For the second year in a row we were rained out!
   We made the decision to stay home after the night long
   rain made the footing dangerous.

   I am told by the 'regulars' that it is a sacred tradition ;*}
   for the Foundation Show to have torrential downpours!

   Did anyone go to the show, either to ride or watch?

    	I went, it was miserable. There was a very low turnout and
    	a lot of horses were refusing jumps because it was too slippery.
    	One jumoing class had 2 people in it, they combined one 18-30
    	flat class with the same 30 and over - came up with 6 people. The
    	back rings were almost empty. 
    
    	I think the tradition is going to fade out unless they a] get
    	luckier with the weather, and b] open the show up to include a
    	broader range of riders/styles.

    Rob and I were there and looked for you.  We didn't stay long as we
    went to see one of the National Show Horses show.
    
    It really was miserable and the turnout was low.
