Well another show season has came and gone. What a wonderful show season it was though, good weather for almost all shows and great turnouts as well.

The youth held a beef BBQ at the four day Ilderton show to fundraise for the OQHA Congress Team. It was a success! The nasty weather that evening didn’t put a damper on dinner. Thank-you to all the youth that helped out and brought the delicious food and to the parents that helped as well. We have a great bunch of youth on our Congress Team.

The Ontario Breeders Futurity was also held in Ilderton for the first time. It was also another great show. Congratulations to all the winners.

The Paris fair show was a good size and the weather held off for us, though it was a bit cold. I know  I would much rather show in the cold than in the rain.

I hope everyone had a wonderful show season and hope to see you all next year. Good luck to all competing at Congress.

Can-Am Fundraising
 
Posted: April 9, 2011
 
Can-am was a very successful fundraising event.
A big thank-you to Home Hardware for donating a popcorn machine and popcorn, if not for all your help we could not have done it.
We had a great turnout of youth willing to put in a few hours of help. The youth who attended were Kennedy Almas, Chelsea Leigh, Amanda & Taylor Martini, Tyler Cressman, Amanda Thomson, Taylor Bennewies, Rianna Storey, Meghan Charest, Paige Fleetwood, Lindsay Lehmann, Sarah Dow, Tianna & Alex Domingos, Erin & Alexandra Cross-Nicholls.
It was a fun filled weekend with a lot of laughs and a good time to catch up. Donations for popcorn were steady all weekend with a grand total of $935.00! Congratulations everyone on a job well done. Also thank you to Kathy Patterson, my mom and any other moms and dads who helped out.
Lets continue to raise money throughout the year!
