Heather & Heather walking the Red Carpet

Want to walk the Runthetable Stables’ Red Carpet at the U.S. Harness Writers Association’s (USHWA) annual Dan Patch Awards dinner, sponsored by Caesars Entertainment, at Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando, Fla., on Sunday night, Feb. 19? An expected harness racing crowd of more than 250 will have the chance, but so too do those who can’t make the trip.

Well-known harness racing personalities Heather Vitale and Heather Wilder will be walking the Red Carpet, sponsored by Runthetable Stables, and broadcasting live on their Facebook pages. The Facebook Live shows will begin at 5:30 p.m. and continue until 6:30 p.m., when the awards dinner will commence. The cocktail hour and open bar for the entire evening are sponsored by Cameo Hills Farm, Lindy Farms, Preferred Equine, and David McDuffee.

“We’re going to have a great time at the party, and for those who can’t make it, we are going to bring the party to you!” said Wilder. “And it’s going to be some party!”

The entire awards dinner, hosted by Roger Huston, Jason Settlemoir, and Dave Little, will be broadcast live on the USHWA Facebook page and available on the U.S. Trotting Association’s YouTube channel on Monday afternoon, Feb. 20.

The Dan Patch Awards evening will be capped off by a special afterparty in the Butler room near the ballroom. The three-hour, open bar afterparty, sponsored by Nancy Takter Stable, Courant Inc./Green Manalishi, Kentuckiana Farms, Svanstedt Stable, Marcus Melander Stable, Lucas Wallin Stable, Noel Daley Stable, Marvin Katz, East Coast Equine, and Bluegrass Staking, will be highlighted by local deejay DJ Chris spinning tunes for dancing.
