FORT WORTH, Texas—With thousands of exhibitors and visitors expected to attend the World Championship Paint Horse Show, which takes place June 25–July 8 at the 85-acre Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas, more than a few will be looking for ways to beat the mid-summer heat as they travel around the sprawling complex.

Metro Golf Cars of Fort Worth offers a solution. As part of its continuing sponsorship of the APHA World Show, the company will maintain a fleet of 150 gas and electric vehicles at the show and service them on-site. According to a company representative, the cars can be adapted to many configurations to haul people, feed and supplies. The vehicles can accommodate from two to eight people.

“One of the most exciting things about the APHA World Show for us is that as a vendor, we get to enjoy the world’s most beautiful horses and a great group of people, and still call it work,” said company representative Ben King. “We are proud to be a Fort Worth company and hope that our involvement helps promote the ambiance participants and visitors experience.”

The newest edition to the Metro Golf Cars line is the Kawasaki Mule. For those who need the extra capacity and a little more speed, this vehicle can supply it.
