I am happy to say that I have Eloise Jones, Loretta Tozer, and Joannie Purks (Andie's mom) helping to chaperone this trip too! Please remember that this AQHYA conference is open to everyone. If any VQHYA youth wish to attend at their own expense, VQHYA will pay for the conference fee of $75.00 as long as we know by April 15. Any youth who wishes to go separate must bring a parent or guardian and make hotel and travel arrangements. The youth will be able to be with VQHYA but under their parental supervision.
Please keep the Tozer Family in your thoughts. As some of you know their roan gelding, "Rooster" had some serious health issues at the show this weekend. He is under his vet supervision right now and they are awaiting results from all the tests poor Rooster had done to him!! The Tozers would like to thank everyone who helped them with Rooster this weekend. We will keep you posted on his condition!!
The upscale tack sale was a huge success for opening weekend! VQHYA made OVER $1500.00 on saddle pad sales!!! We have yet to even dive into the fantastic clothes yet!
The raffle for the headstall is going gang busters too with over $400.00 brought in! We will raffle the headstall off at the EAST COAST SHOW!
Our Jewelry fundraiser went well too! We earned over $100.00 in free jewelry for the silent auction!
FORD TRUCK TICKETS HAVE BEEN REORDERED!!!! We are in the top for selling the most tickets per head count in the USA! Rock on guys!!!!
Lets make this the best one ever!!! Get out there and sell those tickets!
Dave Higgins donated $700.00 to the VQHYA! After the great show and all the hard work you all did, what a nice thing to do! Everyone needs to thank him when you see him!
Region Five is around the corner guys! Please keep checking the Region Five website for news updates! Any youth attending the experience please contact me so I can put you on the team tournament list! VQHYA will pay for the team tournament for any VQHYA youth member participating!
WORLD SHOW!!! On the MOVE!!! I need ideas for stalls! We need to start working on this! Share your thoughts with us!
