*******CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR SENIORS! **********

BEST WISHES AS YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP, IN THE WALK OF LIFE!  

COMB AND CURRY STATE QUALIFYING 4H HORSE SHOW THIS SATURDAY JUNE 13 @ 8AM IN CARO. OUR CLUB IS WORKING CONCESSIONS, SO STOP BY AND HELP OUT IF YOU CAN! 

OUR CLUB SHOW IS SATURDAY JUNE 20^TH AT 9:00 AM. We have hired our judge. Aftin Ruhle, of Rosebush. She judged the Jr. High Equestrian meet in Bad Axe this Spring.

WE NEED ANYONE WHO IS NOT SHOWING, TO COME HELP! EITHER AT THE CONCESSION STAND, OR AT THE ENTRY BOOTH.

WE HAVE AWESOME AWARDS TO GIVE AT THIS SHOW, AND I HOPE THE WEATHER COOPERATES! 

THE CLUB HAS PURCHASED T-SHIRTS FOR EVERY MEMBER, BUT YOU MUST PARTICIPATE, EITHER AS A VOLUNTEER OR AS AN EXHIBITOR TO GET YOURS! IF YOU CAN’T ATTEND THIS SHOW, WE WILL FIND OTHER WAYS FOR YOU TO EARN YOUR T-SHIRT!  

Schools Out!  Its finally time to have some “official” 4H club riding meetings! 

Tuesday nights, with Jackie Diedrich, at the Caro Fairgrounds 6:30pm

Double Nickel and Julie Mowry has a large group of cloverbuds and younger kids that meet at her arena.  If you have questions about those meetings, contact her : This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Things to remember. All fair paperwork must be completed by June 30^th. Coggins test copies must be submitted with paperwork for horse events. Be sure you read the fairbooks, as the horse show schedule was TOTALLY REORGANIZED this year, and you will need to know the changes. 

Keep in mind that EVERY family must find a $20 sponsor / donation, which goes toward trophies at the fair and Tuscola County Horse Leader Horse shows.  This money must be turned in with your fair paperwork.

Businesses, Family sponsorships, Grandparents…And be sure to thank them for supporting the 4H Horse Program! 

We are doing a new theme for our Club’s stall decorations this year. We are going with a “Travel the USA” theme. Every member will pick their favorite State, and decorate based on things that each stage is known for. We want to use as many states as possible, so no duplication will be allowed! If we run out of states, I have some back up choices…

Start thinking about your favorite state in the Union. Anyone with Livestock, will be expected to carry over this theme to the other project areas as well!  
 

Club outing: I would love to put a group together, for a night game at the Great Lakes Loons @ Dow Diamond, in Midland. Please shoot me an email if you are interested and we will choose a date! Friday night, July 3^rd is a Fireworks night, and there is no horse show that weekend, so that is the first date that I am suggesting. If you are staying home for 4^th of July weekend, LETS GO TO THE BASEBALL GAME! IT’S A BEAUTIFUL PARK! 

PLEASE REMEMBER: WITH SUCH A BIG CLUB, WE DON’T WANT ANYONE TO FEEL LEFT OUT, MISINFORMED, OR UNEDUCATED. DON’T EVER HESITATE TO CALL ME, MARY, JULIE, HILLARY, OR KERRI WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON!
