Please join us for the Annual Celebration & Awards Banquet held Saturday, November 5th at the Shilo Inn Portland Airport. Meet and greet starts at 6 PM with dinner at 7 PM. Dress is business casual.
The evening is sure to be exciting with our fabulous annual Silent Auction featuring Chapter and Barn baskets, delicious food and terrific camaraderie.
Menu TBA
This year's banquet will follow the day's educational seminars where we will have vendors present and several social breaks for visiting friends, and, will preceed Steffen Peters Symposium Style Clinic which are to be held the following day. If you need overnight accommodations, the hotel has offered a discounted room rate of $79 per night (that is a $20/night cost savings for ODS Members and Guests)- please call the hotel directly to make that reservation (541) 284–0707, referencing "the Oregon Dressage Society rate."
Steffen Peters will address the audience at approximately 7:30 PM - he will be discussing current events in the dressage community as well as giving an introduction to his Sunday clinic.
The evening would not be complete without learning this year's Special Awards Winners - Instructor of the Year, Horse of the Year, Volunteer of the year and more. Joyce Stride is putting together a great awards ceremony and is sure to provide some "historically speaking" moments for all to enjoy.
Also new this year, ODS is launching our ODS Horse Hall of Fame. Please see the ODS Roster for information on this or contact the ODS Office.
Space is limited to 300 guests; early registration strongly encouraged as we anticipate selling out before the deadline. ODS will use our website and Facebook Fan Page to announce if the event fills; subsequently, a waiting list will be created.
Upon departure, each guest at this year's banquet will receive a complimentary copy of the ODS 40th Anniversary Booklet - additional copies or copies for people not able to attend the celebration will be available below:
 In the beginning Ward W. Wells hoped that someday there would be enough people in the Northwest interested in classical Dressage to form a working organization. 40 Years later the members of Oregon Dressage Society have accomplished many feats, achieved goals, set new policies and overcame huge hurdles to provide a world class organization. During the Fall Festival November 5 & 6 2011, banquet attendees will receive as part of the ticket, a 40th Anniversary book which highlights the past 10 years of ODS history. The book highlights Champions, Award Winners and members who had significant impact and service to the organization. Here is your opportunity to purchase a copy, whether you would like to have an additional copy or if you are unable to attend.

Note: Attendees at the ODS 40th Anniversary Banquet will automatically be given a copy of this booklet. If you are attending the banquet and wish to have only one copy, there is no need to also order one here. All Pre-ordered 40th Anniversary Booklets will be shipped around 11/15/2011.
