The 2015 World Show and Celebration kicked off a new way of communicating for the MFTHBA.  During last year’s Celebration, the MFTHBA launched its new mobile alert service.  This service allows those interested in MFTHBA programs and events to receive information directly to their cellular phones.  In addition to the main MFTHBA group, special groups were established for the MFTHBA’s two main events: the Spring Show and Three Year Old Futurity and the World Show and Celebration.

Attendees to this year’s World Show and Celebration are encouraged to sign up for the special Celebration text group.  “We continue to get excellent feedback on the convenience of getting information via text message especially during the show,” shared Amber Wilson, 2015 MFTHBA Promotions Committee Chairman and now Region 4 Director.

Subscribers can expect to receive an increasing number of text messages as the event gets closer and during the event itself.  “We try to keep text messages to just a couple a month for most of the year but as the event gets closer, subscribers can expect one per week.  During the event itself there may be several per day,” shared Ms. Wilson.

Signing up for the text group is open to anyone interested; however, there may be fees associated depending on the subscriber’s cellular phone plan.

Starting Monday September 5 through Friday September 9, subscribers to the World Show and Celebration group will be randomly selected to win gift bags provided by the MFTHBA Promotions Committee.  All subscribers are eligible.  The winner will be randomly selected by the MFTHBA mobile alerts service provider.  Winners will receive a text message alerting them to their winnings.  Winner must be present at the show the day they receive their text to win. Prizes must be picked up in the MFTHBA the same day.
