What a great day celebrating the Ribbon Cutting of Szinpadi Farms Market in Bell Buckle!

Fresh, locally raised and locally grown food is at the heart of this farm-to-table market. From fresh produce and local meats to beautiful flowers, cheeses, ice cream, and more, Szinpadi Farms Market is giving our community another opportunity to shop local and know where the food you are feeding your family comes from.

The community showed up today, and we were especially proud to celebrate alongside so many of our friends from the Official Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce. It is always exciting to see our communities come together to welcome and support a new local business.

Congratulations to Szinpadi Farms Market! Stop by 23 Railroad Square in Bell Buckle, shop local, support local farmers and producers, and take home something fresh for your family!

There’s just something special about the night before The Celebration. ❤️🐴

The horses are here, the barns are ready, and you can feel the excitement all across our community.

Sleep tight, Walking Horse Country. It’s Celebration time! 🌹

’Twas the night before The Celebration, and all through the town,
Not a horse trailer moved, not a groom could be found.
The stalls had been set, the tack had been shined,
And dreams of that big nights to come were filling each mind.
The horses were settled, their blankets pulled tight,
As Shelbyville waited for opening night.
The barns were all quiet, the arena stood still,
But you could feel the excitement from Main Street to the hill.
The riders were ready, the trainers prepared,
The fans had their tickets, the whole town had cared.
For generations now, this night has been known—
When Walking Horse Country welcomes its people home.
From near and from far, they would soon make their way,
To celebrate horses, tradition, and these reverent days
That mean something special to everyone here—
A tradition we cherish year after year.
And somewhere a child dreamed of riding in that big oval,
While somewhere a champion dreamed of winning roses.
The lights would soon shine, the organ music would play,
And horses would canter in that wonderful way.
So tonight, let us pause before all the excitement,
And remember what makes this tradition so right.
It's the horses, the people, the friendships, the pride—
And a community that stands proudly side by side.
So sleep well, Walking Horse Country, tomorrow's the day—
The 88th Celebration is finally on its way.
May the barns be full and the grandstands be bright,
And may we all enjoy The Celebration tomorrow night.
’Twas the night before The Celebration…
and the greatest 11 days of the year was about to begin.

Saddle Up & Celebrate Part two...

08/25/2026

Saddle Up & Celebrate was a great night kicking off the 88th Annual Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, which officially begins this Wednesday!

Tonight, our business community came together with the horse industry to celebrate so much more than an 11-day horse show. We celebrated an industry that, for more than 88 years, has helped shape Bedford County’s economy, welcomed generations of visitors, supported local businesses, created careers, and brought families to our community who now proudly call Bedford County home.

The impact of the Tennessee Walking Horse reaches far beyond the show ring. Our businesses, our families, and our entire community have benefited from the people who have invested their lives, their careers, and their passion into this industry. Tonight was about celebrating that impact and the connections between our business community and horse industry that continue moving Bedford County forward.

We are excited to welcome everyone to Shelbyville for The Celebration, and we hope to see you there!

A special thank you to our sponsor, Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, to Strawberry Moon Catering Company for incredible food and a beautiful presentation, and to Chase Clanton that kept the night alive with great music and great energy. Every detail helped make the evening special.

Saddle Up, Bedford County—it’s Celebration time!
