CCABLAC Animal Welfare Advocate Clant M. Seay said, "This mind boggling move by the Celebration Board of Directors to take money in exchange for naming the Show Arena after the allegedly Two Foot "SORE" World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse is simply stupefying."
"In my opinion, it shows just how desperate the Celebration's Directors have become while facing the steady perseverance of "We, The People" – CCABLAC's peaceful protests of the "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty on display at the Celebration. In my opinion, these Directors are not looking out for what is in the best interest of Shelbyville – Bedford County, TN. The "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty is a stain upon the great State of Tennessee."
The "Naming Rights" to the Arena were sold to Owners Mr. Keith and Ms. Lorraine Rosbury for $150,000.00.
