Exciting  News!  The Northern Saddle club will be a participant in the Florence County Fair on Sunday August 24th.   The arena is open for us to show off our stunning horses, highlight our trailers and demonstrate the various tack used.  Let's put our heads together and make this a fun time for us and spectators.  Your help is needed in planning, organizing and participating.  A kickoff meeting to plan & organize will take place Monday August 11th at 6pm at Pat and Sharon Petraska's home.  We will be brainstorming during this time so please join us or send in your thoughts and suggestions.  If you are interested in presenting with your horse during this time, please let us know, you will need a current coggins test and if you are from Michigan a current health certificate as well.   

 

Some ideas so far are

    Set up a mock camping experience,  a few trailers, portable fencing, etc.  This would be interactive as they will be able to view the interiors of the trailers.

    Breed demonstration, let's show off our unique diversity of our horses and what we use them for.  

    Saddle display,  show off the different types of saddles and what they are used for.

    Perhaps bobbing for apples or something fun for the kids!

    Highlight our new maps, signs and brochures

    Sell T-shirts

    Possible donation or raffle event as a fundraiser for the day

 

It's really a clean slate; we have 3 weeks to plan-act-do..... so please attend the meeting or send a message via email  if you would like to participate at this event.  We will be notifying the Florence County Fair with what they can expect so that they can advertise our presence as well.  Free admission on Sunday for all participants as well.  Any questions, please feel free to contact myself at 715-889-9409.

 

Thank You
