Celebrating 11 Years
Northwest Horse Fair officials are proud to announce an exciting lineup of activities and clinicians for the eleventh annual Northwest Horse Fair and Expo, presented by SilverLite Trailers, March 19 through 21, 2010 at the Linn County Fair and Expo Center in Albany, Oregon. “This year’s event is loaded with action-packed entertainment and top-notch clinicians for equine enthusiasts!” said John Cloe, event founder and manager.
“We’re pleased to bring back the Extreme Mustang Makeover to the Northwest Horse Fair & Expo this year. It’s an exciting spectator event that really tests the trainers’ abilities to tame wild mustangs in a very short period of time!”, continued Mr. Cloe. Trainers will receive their wild mustangs December 1, and have 90 days to train and prepare them for the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition, organized by the Mustang Heritage Foundation.
In a total of 3 competitive classes at the Northwest Horse Fair, trainers will compete for $10,000 in prize money, as they show off their mustang’s conditioning, training and handling skills through a tough course of obstacles. The contest culminates with the Finals, where the top contestants showcase their horse’s best talents. “The crowds went wild for last year’s winner, ‘Mustang Sally’, as she showed off her jumping skills in the Finals, clearing 3 foot fences with ease!”, said Mr. Cloe.
Following the Finals, all horses will become available for adoption through competitive bidding, on Sunday at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo. Trainers for the Extreme Mustang Makeover are chosen from applications, due November 1 to the Mustang Heritage Foundation.
Costumes, color and pageantry will highlight performances by the Silver Edge Theatrical and Rodeo Drill Team, performing for the first time at the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo. The Championship Northwest drill team features fast pace drills with spectacular costumes and awe-inspiring music. Adding to the fun for horse lovers, the SilverLite Drill Team will present precision drills on horseback at the Expo, while horses in the Breed Showcase and Stallion Review “strut their stuff”, representing a wide array of horse breeds.

“In addition to the tremendous entertainment at the event, we have a great line-up of world-class clinicians and trainers who will provide first-rate clinics and demonstrations for the crowd’s enjoyment”, said Mr. Cloe. Daily clinics will include: Al Dunning presenting Reining, Working Cow and Cutting clinics; George Williams featuring Dressage; Nick Karazissis conducting daily Hunter/Jumper clinics; Peggy Cummings offering Connected Riding clinics; and Steve Rother giving clinics on how to Excel with Horses.
Shoppers will love the huge trade show offering a broad selection of products and services for horse and farm enthusiasts. Two buildings with rows of shopping booths will feature horse trailers, feed, clothing and equipment for horse and rider, equine supplies, farm products, artwork, gifts and much more!
Advance tickets for the Northwest Horse Fair and Expo are $10 per day for adults and $5 per day for children aged 6 to 12.

History of Valley Talk
Valley Talk was part of the new programming lineup on the new station at a frequency of 1580 KHz when it signed on in 1995. KGAL originally was at 930 KHz when it signed on December 10th, 1050. It later moved to 920 KHz until the call letters were dropped by the same (and current owners) when 920 KHz changed it's format to Adult Standards.
At that time KGAL AM's (920 KHz) programming (oldies) was moved to a new FM owned by Eads Broadcasting at 102.3 FM. This station was licensed to Brownsville had the call letters KGAL-FM. KGAL-FM was sold in the mid 1990's and a new frequency was applied for and approved at 1580 KHz, called KGAL. This time KGAL target was the same audience (35-64 Adults) that grew up with the original Top 40 Format in the 1960's, 70's and early 80's but were now listening to News Talk radio.
Valley Talk originally aired from 8:30 am to 9:00 Monday - Friday mornings following the Morning Update. Host Dick Manning launched the show and did the daily live and local talk show duties until shifting to part time host in early 2003 due to health reasons. Dick remained on the air sharing the host duties with Jim Willhight until his death in July of 2003.
Later in 2003 the show expanded to 1 full hour and moved to 11 to Noon, Monday- Thursday. On Dick Manning's passing in July 2003 Radio Ray and Jim Willhight split the Valley Talk live hosting duties. In July of 2004 Valley Talk began Podcasting, archiving shows in the mp3 format for free download on the internet.
KGAL had a special satellite studio in Albany (our main studios and transmitters are in Lebanon) built in the Flynn Building on First Avenue in Historic Downtown Albany. The show broadcast from that location until a major fire in the Flynn Building still originating live from our Valley Talk Studio in the Flinn Building in Downtown Albany.
The studio remained in the Flynn Building after the fire, then was moved when the space was remodeled for retail space. The new location, just a stones throw away in the Venetian Theater right across the street.
In March of 2010 KGAL lost the lease for the studio as the owners of the Venetian, the Plainview Mennonite Church, needed the space for it’s ministries. We are currently broadcasting the live, local talk show from our main studios in Lebanon.
