AESC membership is just $25 a year and it comes with some great perks! Members can ride at Shirley’s Arena and the Ninilchik Fairgrounds, get updates on local horse happenings and enjoy discounted rates for club events like Ninilchik Horse Camp and the Trail Ride Extraordinaire. You’ll also have a say in who’s on the steering committee—or even run for a spot yourself if you’re feeling inspired! Not a member? No problem, you’re still totally welcome at all of our events. Non-member rate for Horsemanship Nights is $15 and if you’re planning to take part in anything at the Kenai Peninsula Fairgrounds, a fair membership is recommended and sometimes required.
The Kenai Peninsula Fair, held each August in Ninilchik, is a lively three‑day community celebration packed with family fun – think live music, pig racing, rodeos, parade, contests, exhibits, vendors and more – all under the mission of “connecting the Greater Kenai Peninsula by providing a fun‑filled, entertaining, educational and safe environment.” We are lucky to have our hometown fairgrounds to host our equestrian events and hope to continue this partnership into the next generation!
Fair membership may be required to participate in some on-site activities.
