October 2018 Mane Event Horse Expo in Chilliwack, BC May Be Cancelled

Don't buy your tickets yet. The Mane Event, a Canadian event company for horse expos and shows in Scottsdale AZ, Chilliwack BC, and Red Deer AB, may have to cancel their upcoming event at Chilliwack Heritage Park in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Here's why:

• Chilliwack Heritage Park has not received any deposits or reservations to hold the venue for the October 2018 Mane Event Expo.
• The Mane Event's insurance company has sent out notices to their event venues that their bill was not paid and they will be cutting off their insurance.
• The event rental company for last year's show in Chilliwack, BC, has served Ron and Gail Barker with papers for not paying for last year’s event to the tune of $9000.00.
• The event rental company for the March 2018 show in Scottsdale, AZ still has not been paid in full for over $6000 in services.
• In 2005, Ron Barker of the Mane Event, received a lifetime market ban for defrauding investors. The British Columbia Securities Commission found that he violated securities laws when he committed fraud and lied to investors in raising more than $2.3-million from individuals in the Kamloops area.

• Ron Barker also had seven charges imposed for violating bankruptcy laws. Click here for details.

Based on this information, we warn all vendors, sponsors, or attendees to consider that you most likely will not be paid in full by Ron Barker, Gail Barker, and The Mane Event Horse Expo.
