A picture perfect picnic on a hot, muggy, Minnesota summer day for Jonathan Hamilton, left, Nicole Thompson and Tim Potter, all of Minneapolis, at the Polo Grounds in Maple Plain Sunday, July 31. The annual Polo Classic raises money to benefit the University of Minnesota Equine Center.

The only shade on the polo field was monopolized by hardworking scorekeepers. They are, left to right, Jack Suchy, Ben Kill, Evan Kill, Alex Kill, Tucker Gilbertson, Sarah Harrison and Brianna Bren. The Polo Match was the centerpiece of a day-long fundraising benefit for the University of Minnesota Equine Center.
