Wartrace Horse Show
The Wartrace Horse Show is an annual one-night horse show held in Wartrace, Tennessee. It has been held since 1906 and is traditionally popular with competitors hoping to enter the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration later in August. History The Wartrace Horse Show was founded in 1906 in Wartrace, Tennessee. It was originally part of a larger stock show and festival, but the popularity of horses in the area warranted the split. For the first 20 years of its existence, it was held on Front Street in Wartrace, but later moved to the showgrounds, Jernigan Field. The first Wartrace Horse Shows awarded sacks of flour and coffee as prizes, and the town wellhouse was used as a stand for the judges to view the horses. Although Wartrace had a population of 500 people in the early 1900s, the show attracted crowds of approximately 5,000 spectators. The Wartrace Horse Show is still held on the first Saturday night in August as a fundraiser for local schools. It remains popular with ...

Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration
The Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration (TWHNC), sometimes known as the Celebration, is the largest horse show for the Tennessee Walking Horse breed, and has been held annually in or near Shelbyville, Tennessee since its inception in 1939.

The Celebration spans 11 days and nights in late August and early September annually, and finishes with the crowning of the World Grand Champion Tennessee Walker on the Saturday night before Labor Day. The TWHNC draws an estimated 2,000 horses and 250,000 spectators to Shelbyville each year. History The Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration was founded in 1939.

Flour
Flour is a powder made by grinding raw grains, roots, beans, nuts, or seeds. Flours are used to make many different foods. Cereal flour, particularly wheat flour, is the main ingredient of bread, which is a staple food for many cultures. Corn flour has been important in Mesoamerican cuisine since ancient times and remains a staple in the Americas. Rye flour is a constituent of bread in central and northern Europe. Cereal flour consists either of the endosperm, germ, and bran together (whole-grain flour) or of the endosperm alone (refined flour). ''Meal'' is either differentiable from flour as having slightly coarser particle size (degree of comminution) or is synonymous with flour; the word is used both ways.

The CDC has cautioned not to eat raw flour doughs or batters. Raw flour can contain bacteria like '' E. col ...

Wellhouse
Wellhouse is a residential neighbourhood in the East End of the Scottish city of Glasgow. Since 2007 it has been part of the Baillieston administrative ward within the Glasgow City Council area.
