I have been to some shows at Purina Farms, and Yes, It is a very nice facility, and the price is sure right. I have never been to shows there as late as November, and have my doubts as to how much I would enjoy sitting outside in the rain or cold. It can get chilly in Missouri in November, and it usually rains, some. If there is not some kind of a seating arrangement, there wouldn't be many people able to view Specials. I can picture lawn chair fights for a spot at ringside, and the double handlers would not have an easy time of it. Just my comments. The last time we were in St.Louis, there was a dust problem. I assume this would be easily solved if we return to the horse facility. Other than dust, this was not a bad place at all. Just my thoughts on the matter.
