Re: Parade Practice

Great, thanks!

There is also a community service opportunity Tuesday after 3:00pm to help set up for the Livestock Show.
We can help move the folding chairs from the arena into the concession stand.  The sheriff's posse would really appreciate our club coming to their rescue.

Updates

Our November Open Horse Show was a success!  Thanks to all the officers and members who worked the show.  We had a lot of new people showing and the feedback we heard was great.  We also had several families interested in joining Hoofpicks.  Upcoming events include a Trail Ride 11/20/10, our next meeting is 11/30/10, and don't forget every Thursday there are activities such as Horse 101, open riding, and rodeo training opportunities at the Sheriff's Posse arena.  Also don't forget December 3rd is Hoofpicks' day to volunteer at the 4H County Livestock Show and you need to let Tim know when you can work.  The 4H County Youth Fair also needs volunteers on December 2nd.  Contact Janice if you would like to help with that.
