After being canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, the Devon Horse Show is finally returning this week. Horse people and Devon, Pennsylvania, locals alike will descend upon the show grounds to enjoy not just the competition, but the famous fudge, lemon sticks and iconic Ferris wheel that are all part of one of the country’s oldest horse shows. The Chronicle will be there to bring you all the photos and coverage from the place “Where Champions Meet.”
