We would also like to Thank everyone who has taken out time in their day for helping out in and out of the arena at each of the shows that we have had, with out the help of these people we would not be able to make each show run. If you have not had the chance to help out as of yet this year, there is plenty of time to help with picking up hats out of the arena or opening and closing gates and setting up patterns to be able and help out we still have 5 shows left for the year. Please remember as you or your child is entering and exiting the arena it takes someone to open and close that gate for each contestant and event, if the gate is not opened we can not continue to move on to the next competitor/event. If you see that some one has been working the gate or picking up hats for a few events, Please take 15-30 minutes from your day and switch off with that person so no one feels that they are the only person/family that is working on any certain day at any show.
Thank you in advance for everyone doing their part in helping to make this a successful raffle and 2010 show season!
