Finalized plans for the Bonnie Brae Polo Classic on Saturday June 13 have been established. Due to this week's inclement weather, we must alter the events of the day. The safety of the horses and players is of primary importance; therefore, no polo will be played. Tailgate parties will continue as planned, and every effort will be made to ease the set up of parties for our Sponsors and Patrons.
In the entertainment area, Tailgate and Best Hat competitions will go on. The Polocrosse teams and the Top Notch Equestrian Drill Team will not be performing; however, the Foot Bassets, Foxhounds, Classic Cars, and various vendors will still be present.
Vehicular traffic in the area of the polo field will not be possible. Alternate parking arrangements on site will be made for tailgate Patrons and Sponsors. Off-site parking for General Admission guests will be provided at nearby lots, with shuttle buses to transport guests to the polo field.
We hope you will come out and enjoy a wonderful day in the country at the beautiful Fieldview Farm to support Bonnie Brae!
