,,—·e Lexington will have a different horse buzz this fall. Sure, we will attract the usual crowds to the
gg“~·=· Bluegrass for Keeneland’s October racing meet. But it is another equine event that has Kentuck-
  ians ready to put our best foot — or shall 1 say hoof- forward.
i * iv     Horse enthusiasts from across the globe will descend upon the Kentucky Horse Park Sept. 25
    j ’ through Oct. 10 to witness and experience the 2010 Alltech EE1 World Equestrian Games
* __;_   hlhis is the Hrst time the games will venture outside of Europe, and 1 know Kentucky’s
C j   famed horse country is ready to put on quite the show
A ]ust as \WEG provides Kentucky and the nations horse industry a prime opportunity to show-
  case our excellence, the games will allow the University of Kentuclqr a unique opportunity to
j E g share our story with a global audience.

B Q . Countless alunmi, faculty staf£ and students will be volunteering throughout the games to make
- ·¢ - W sure that the Commonwealth is represented in a Hrst-class manner.
hlhe UK College of Agriculture has been working with the games since the very begimiing. Eac-

eign language department has been working to provide translators for our global guests. UK Opera hlheatres Everett McCorvey has
designed and planned the opening and closing ceremonies.
UK HealthCare is serving as the chief medical provider for the games. And though we hope all the athletes and guests enjoy a safe
stay in the Bluegrass, our world-class medical team will be prepared if anyone needs medical attention. hlhose that seek emergency med-
ical care will be seen in our new emergency room. hlhe emergency room, which is part of our new $570 million UK Chandler Hospi-
