The United States Harness Writers Association (USHWA), the group of the industry’s communicators who are the primary voters on Hall of Fame and year-end honours, is announcing a special Dan Patch Virtual Awards Show, to be held on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2021, from 5 to 6 p.m. The Dan Patch Awards Show can be watched live on USHWA’s Facebook page, as well as through the Meadowlands simulcast signal, on the track’s website and through the RTN broadcast network. The next day, it will be archived and available on the USTA’s YouTube channel. The Dan Patch Awards would normally be given at the writers’ annual Dan Patch Banquet in association with their national meetings, but there will be no banquet this year due to health/travel concerns and the USHWA meetings will be held electronically.
