Pee Wee Entry Forms will be available on the NBHA State website; I will also have these on our website and available at our shows.  Pee Wee contestants do not have to be an NBHA member to compete.
IMPORTANT:  The format for the PeeWee Race is the same as last year.  The unassisted rider race is a 3D format; added money and a best-dressed award.  The assisted rider division will be a costume contest and not a timed event.  Contestants will be led through the pattern, but judged only on their costume.  We will award prizes to the top 3 costume winners.  All contestants in all events will receive participation awards.  Entry fee is $10.00 with 100% payback.
Scholarship Forms are available on the NBHA State website as well as our District website and at our shows.  If you need me to send you one, please contact me.
Work Schedule:  We have been assigned 11:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday, May 21st.  This is the same time we had last year.  I will need volunteers to run the in and out gates during these hours.  We need one person on the in-gate and one person on the out-gate.
Note:  If you would like to volunteer to help check in horses, contact Carol Wingate at wingate_1986@yahoo.com.  If you would like to help with warm-ups on Thursday, let me know.
Tough Enough To Wear Pink
Saturday of the State Championships will again be “Tough Enough To Wear Pink” day.  Everyone is encouraged to wear pink and there will be a donation box for districts to make contributions.  The district with the most contributions will win a free stall and entry to the 2012 State Championships.  Additionally, there will be raffle drawings during the day for those putting money into the donation box.
IMPORTANT NOTE:  Dawn has asked each district to put together a list of members who are cancer survivors; these names will be announced at the State Championships.  I know of several in our district who are cancer survivors; there may be others I don’t know of.  If you would like to be acknowledged as a cancer survivor at the State Championships, let me know.  I will not turn in anyone’s name without their approval to do so.
