2010 World Equestrian Games - Lexington , Kentucky

I am an IFWTWA member based in the Lexington , KY area . In 2010 we will host the World Equestrian Games at the Kentucky Horse Park . This is a world class event that will bring approximately 500,000 visitors to the event in a 10 day period . IT IS THE FIRST TIME THIS EVENT HAS BEEN HELD IN THE UNITED STATES . Most of the visitors will be very affluent international equestrian professionals and enthusiasts .

The website for this event is http://www.feigames2010.org/ .

This is an incredible event on its own and is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase various food, wine, bourbon ( of course ) and travel opportunities in the Kentucky and southern region .

I have an interest in writing about various aspects for this and would like advice from members on how to capitalize on this opportunity . This is the " Olympics for the equine world" and would and may never be held in the U.S. for decades .
