The Washington County, Maryland segment of the National Pike Festival
and Wagon Train is sponsored by Washington County and the James Shaull
Wagon Train Foundation, Inc. a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
To participate in the wagon train the fee is $10 per wagon/buggy
and/or $10 per horseback rider. This registration fee is non-refundable
and must be submitted with all the necessary registration and insurance
information.
Liability insurance is necessary to participate. In the event a horse
kicks a car or something similar might occur to cause property damage
or injury as a result of your animal, the wagon train foundation
must have some recourse. Usually an umbrella policy attached to the
homeowners insurance policy will provide coverage or a farm policy
to include the animals traveling on the roadways. Please have your
insurance agent provide you with a copy of the binder to be included
with the registration form.

form and the insurance binder information
