Don't miss this Yale event
Tom Smith
I won't be able to make this myself, as I think it is the same day as the Jamul manure throw, but you might be interested:
San Diego Polo Event
Family Friendly Day of Polo
Sunday, July 20, 2008, 12pm
What better combination than to enjoy the dog days of summer, viewing
the "Game of Kings!" in Rancho Santa Fe with other Ivy Leaguers and
their families?
Mark your calendar for July 20th where the Yale Club of San Diego and
the Harvard Club of San Diego will gather under the "Members Only" tent
to watch the final championship game of the United States Polo
Association's Rossmore Cup.
First game is at 1PM and the feature match is at 3PM, but you'll want
to come early to see all the festivities. We've selected a day where
the half-time show between the matches is the Muttropolis Dog Fashion
Show. Both large and small dogs will strut their paws on the catwalk,
to your delight! If you're feeling a little wild, the attire suggestion
that day is to wear Animal Print. In the middle of the feature match,
the La Cereza Winery "Pretty Woman Divot Stomp" will be your time to
place a complimentary glass of sparkling wine in your hand and take to
the polo field with all the other spectators. The newest additions at
the polo club include an Artist's Corner featuring a well known
equestrian artist (Donald Schwartz) who will help you brush up on
painting horses and dogs. Other artists, sculptors, wood carvers and
photographers will also display and sell their work each Sunday. If you
have children, Scotty the Trick Horse will be in the children's area
for them to run through his show, after they wear themselves out in the
jump tent. This is sure to be fun for the whole family, so ...
RSVP now while there are still seats available. Please note that parking is $5 per car.

$ 60 Member's Tent seats with gourmet buffet (Reservations required for the buffet)
$ 25 Member's Tent seats (food to be separately purchased from concession stand)
$ 10 General Admission non-reserved seats (Not in Member's Tent)

A friend of mine swears by polo: it kept his daughter interested in ponies rather than boys during Her Difficult Years. Another friend was also encouraged by the amount of time that her daughter spent at polo, not realising that the attraction for her was the cocaine. Ain't life various?

Professor, you totally ignore the fact that it's featuring Donald Schwartz. How can you mock Donald Schwartz.
No, I'm being serious. You're an extremely witty man. So come up with some more wit about this event!
