The first sign of fall ushered in The Junior League of Greater Covington’s 12th annual Harvest Cup Polo Classic, Oct. 26, at the Folsom Equestrian Center.

Both amateur and professional polo players tack up the ponies and raise their mallets to raise funds for the service organization’s community projects in St. Tammany Parish, including the Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, Career Corner and The Museum Without Walls.

The organization also supports Hope House Child Advocacy Program, Habitat for Humanity, New Heights Equestrian Center, Southeast Hospital Adolescent Unit and local efforts.
