This past Saturday members of the Carrollton Kiwanis Club enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon at the Tanner Polo Classic. Under brilliant autumn skies, many people from the local community gathered to watch world-class polo players showcase breathtaking skill, speed, and horsemanship.
Beyond the thrilling play, the afternoon carried a meaningful civic purpose: raising vital funds for the ongoing expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Tanner Medical Center in Carrollton. It was a perfect blend of high-energy sport, community fellowship, and dedicated support for Carroll County's newest and smallest residents.
