Well, another show has come and gone and all went well.  The judges were upbeat and seemed to enjoy the quality of horses we have here in the Inland Northwest and those who came from out of the area.  A lot of compliments were passed on, and other then a major wind factor and some rain....well that is the Spokane area....unpredictable they say!!

The Barn dinner and the Powerline Breakfast were a hit as always and we appreciate the ability to sit and rest for a moment and enjoy a wonderful meal...thanks to the Irby's.  All of those volunteers who did show up and helped out, are the staples of the show.  Without the people to run the gates and paddock and office...there would be no show.  We were slim...but many thanks to the Shriners for their participation.  As the beneficiary of a percentage of the proceeds, they were tireless in their smiling faces with the win pictures and stood in the blowing grit and worked the gates and gave out ribbons.....still smiling.  (I think secretly they love the chance to help and be in the photos!!!)  

So, for another year keep riding those ponies and get ready to do it again!!  It is your club, and the future is in your hands.....the show is 6 months of preparation and 4 days of excitement and fun.  It cannot survive without the help of many people. Please get involved and let's make the 41st Annual Show as fun and successful as the 40th.

Thanks again to all who did help, without you I would have......just run and hid!!  These shows cannot be completed without a group effort......thanks to my group!!!

Sincerely,

Chris Meston
