Fair Hill

I'm just back from the Fair Hill Point-to-Point Races in Cecil County, Maryland. It was a beautiful sunny, warm Easter Sunday, the races were exciting (and thankfully there were no untoward incidents), and we had a great time cheering for jockeys we knew and greeting friends, neighbors and their canine companions (including Panda the Puli, a beautiful Irish Setter, a Great Dane who was almost as big as some of the ponies, Janie the Corgi and a sweet Jack Russell/Scottie cross).
Fair Hill has a very convenient layout for spectators. You can watch the horses in the paddock and then walk to the stands, which are only a stone's throw away. From there you get a great view of most of the race course and the finish line. Then you can return to the paddock and watch the awards ceremony.
We got there early to watch the adorable pony races, and during breaks between the races (which started very punctually, hooray for the organizers!) we listened to the terrific bluegrass band.
And who knew that the Easter bunny was an equestrian?
