The 35th Annual Hampton Classic
The tents are up, the horses are competing and people from all over the world are coming to watch or compete in the 35th Annual Hampton Classic. This week long jumping competition is a spectacular way to see horses and their riders up close compete in all levels of jumping competitions. If you are a native Long Islander and have yet to attend this Hamptons classic, you don’t know what you are missing. This event is very kid and dog friendly, as long as your dog is leashed, well behaved, friendly, and won’t freak out seeing a horse.
Also if your kids like animals, they will love this. Especially the exotic animals that are on display and on Saturday, September 4th is the annual Cablevision Kids Day with all kinds of activities geared for your 2-legged kids.
Some of the animals your kids can see pretty close.
The classic started on Sunday, August 29th and runs through Sunday, September 6, 2010 with many events during the week. Try to go during one of the weekdays when it is less crowded and you will be able to see more. There is also the ‘Boutique Garden’ there with a ton of vendors for your shopping pleasure. Its $20 bucks for a car load of people or $10 a person. If you were lucky to go today, admission was free! For more information on the classic go to: www.hamptonclassic.com
