FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Mustang Heritage Foundation is sponsoring the Mustang Heritage Spectacular, a 4-day, three show event at the Williamson County Ag Expo Park in Franklin from June 20 to 23.

Along with wild horses doing incredible things, the shopping is top tier with over 100 vendor spaces of a huge variety of apparel, art, health products, jewelry, boots, hats, and more.
Food vendors with supreme roasted coffee, freeze dried candy, BBQ, ice cream, roasted nuts, unique beverages and concessions operated by local Williamson County non-profits as fund-raisers.

The new college scholarship program provides three college bound students interested in furthering their education and furthering the mission of Mustang Heritage Foundation in the future.
Tickets and support of Mustang Heritage Week and the Mustang Heritage Foundation raise funds to continue all this important work.
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
