THE PFIZER FANTASIA AT EQUINE AFFAIRE OFFERS AN EVENING OF EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAINMENT 

      Equine Affaire’s signature evening entertainment, the Pfizer Fantasia, will showcase the beauty and diversity of horses on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights during Equine Affaire in Ohio, April 6–9, 2006, at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus.  Always a highlight of any Equine Affaire, the Pfizer Fantasia will take place in the Coliseum and will include a diverse array of equine and equestrian acts choreographed to an assortment of musical styles.  Professional performers will dazzle the crowd with acrobatic artistry and precision drill teams will impress their fellow horsemen with intricate pattern work.  From reining and dressage to vaulting and liberty acts, the evening will highlight the brilliance, grace, and athleticism of all equines—from smaller horse breeds to draft breeds—and the special connections they share with their human handlers.
      The Pfizer Fantasia is expected to again draw an enthusiastic crowd of horsepeople from throughout the Midwest.  A separate ticket will be required for admission to this event and all seats are reserved.  Tickets for this popular show are $12, $16, $18, and $24 per seat (plus postage/handling fees) and may be ordered from Equine Affaire through March 20th online at www.equineaffaire.com or by calling (740) 845-0085 weekdays from 9:00am–5:00pm Eastern.  Advance tickets may be charged on Visa or MasterCard.  Tickets not sold in advance will go on sale in the Celeste Center at Equine Affaire beginning at 9:00am on Thursday, April 6th. The doors will open at 7:30pm each evening and the shows will begin at 8:00pm.  
      On behalf of everyone who enjoys the Pfizer Fantasia, the producers of Equine Affaire extend their thanks to Pfizer Animal Health for their generous sponsorship of this very special event.
