Featured Breyerfest - 1992

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Featured Breyerfest! This week we're covering Breyerfest 1992, so get ready for another trip to the distant past (ha, ha...). 

Breyerfest 1992
After the four Breyerfests of 1991, just one event was held in 1992 and every year since. I can't imagine how much work and planning it took to put on four Breyerfests - no wonder they went back to just one. 
Date: July 31-Aug 1, 1992
Celebration Horse: Turbo the Wonder Horse
Number of Celebration Models produced: 1,000
Attendees: I haven't been able to find any information about attendance in 1992. But obviously it was enough to keep holding the event! Here's the 1992 page in the commemorative program: 


























According to the Riders in the Sky wiki (who would have thought there would be one), Turbo the Wonder Horse was the mount of Ranger Doug on the Riders in the Sky TV show (and radio show). He was produced on the popular Semi-Rearing Mustang mold. 

Since Breyerfest was back to being just one event, there was only one raffle model - the buckskin Quarter Horse Yearling, which was suggested by Marney Walerius, one of the "founding mothers" of the model horse hobby. 

I also found it interesting that the trade show was held in the Big Barn in the KHP. It looks like some seminars/signings were held in the Covered Arena lounge, but was anything else in the Covered Arena? 

That's about it for this week - information about Breyerfest 1992 seems to be pretty sparse. Check back next week for Breyerfest 1993!
