Here's some other information you

may want to know. Let's start with the grill out. This is our big social event for the weekend. This is our claim to fame - not the grill out specifically, but the fact that we are more than a horse show. We are all here to have fun. This type of activity really lets everyone get to know each other a little better and promotes friendly competition. We are a very laid back group and that is what brings people back every year. So, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Please bring your own meat to grill and a dish to share. We'll provide everything else :)

Another bit of info you may want to be aware of is that there is another event going on at the National Cattle Congress this weekend. It the Two-Cylinder Club Expo (I think its something to do with tractors) - just checked the NCC website. That goes Thursday-Saturday. They think there will be enough time for them to get everything taken care of but please be aware that there could be a lot of traffic on the fairgrounds. There is tons of space to manuver but I don't know how big this event is. So just be ready for it. This only effects you if you show up early on Saturday. If you plan on showing up Sunday morning or even doing jump-out, this has no effect on you because they will be gone by Sunday.

If you plan on driving a long way to get here and need help finding a good hotel, please let me know. There are some to stay away from based on some reports I got from exhibitors last year. I'm not going to post it on here for respect of their business but if you call me, I will tell you the ones to avoid.

I think I covered just about everything. Later this week I will go through the show bill on here and explain what some of our classes mean since our terminology may be different from what you are used to.

We hope to see you all at the show next weekend!
