Hey Everybody!
5/14/12
Yet again another nice show at Johnny Butler's! I know everyone was missing his sister and the great food she has at their concession stand. We all hope that she is feeling better.
Jennifer Peurrung and Mega won the Open class with a 14.885.
Emma McGee and Sonney Dee won the Youth class with a 15.191.
Linda Dennis and Firewater Shezawinner won the Senior class with a 15.906.
We had lots of help at the show and I appreciate everyone for helping out.
Our next show will be at the covered pen in Live Oak. We will be presenting last years awards right after the show is over.
Our final show before the State Finals will be at Branford on June 2nd. We have two members who have been having some hard times. Michele Starling's son has been very sick and Michele has had to miss alot of work to be with him in the hospital. Teresa Hattaway was thrown from a horse and has been unable to work for several weeks. We will be having donation boxes for each at the Branford show. We are also having a silent auction and the proceeds will be split between the two. We need items for the auction - new or used items. I also need someone to organize and run the auction for us at the show. Two or three people would be great so no one has to worry about being able to ride. We are a close knit group in FL08 and I know that in times of trouble we band together to help each other out. So let me know if you can help with the auction and/or have items to be auctioned off.
The Youth World entry forms are available on line at www.nbha.com. I will also have some with me at the show.

The State show forms are now available. We are out of hookups. Plenty of generator spaces available.
Also anyone wanting to run at the State show this year must have run at 3 of your district shows from June of 2011 to June of 2012. This rule will not be waived this year!
Also per Linda Jones we will no longer be able to accomodate anyone with early or late draws for work or other commitments.
If we have any open holes in the draw prior to the show starting all draws will be moved up to fill in the slots. I try to estimate how many entries we have at the shows but sometimes we have more or less.

The district voted to continue with payouts and awards the same as last year.
If you would like to receive awards at the end of the year and place in the top 5 of a division then the following must be paid by the State show in June.
Open: $30
Youth: $15
Seniors: $15
Arlene Price has volunteered to keep track of the money and also to do the awards again this year. Arlene will be at some of the shows but you may also mail her the money if you wish. Please make checks out to Arlene Price.
