It's SUMMER!!!

Last weekend marked the official beginning of Summer and our Benefit Horse Show at Windfall Farm. Sixteen of our riders and four of our program horses showed off their skills in front of an appreciative crowd on Saturday, June 20th. Special thanks to Erica Staib for allowing our riders to shine, and to our volunteers for all their help. We would also like to say thank you to the following individuals who were sponsors for our show:

• Tom Bach
• Judge Ken Zuk
• Gary Smith
• Kirk and Marie Huenefeld
• Paula Ott
• Tryin 4 Brian
• The Williamson Family
• James Sprague
• Jeannie Phillips
• The Schultz Family
• The Hayes Family
• Cliff Craig
• Betsy Connell
• Carol O'Reilly

Lilyfest 2009 is right around the corner. The event is Saturday, July 11th from 4:00-??? and will feature food from Hitch's, Games, a Silent Auction, and of course...Lilies!!! Tickets are only $15 (ages 10 and under $10) and include all the food and drinks you want. All proceeds from the lily sales and the silent auction go directly to CTRH. Please RSVP to Laura at lkovacs@fuse.net by July 3rd.

As always, remember to call the barn after 5:00 if the weather looks threatening to check the status of class.

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. Keep your fingers crossed that the good weather holds out for the new session starting on June 8th.

A huge thank you to the members of the 2009 Deloitte & Touche Impact Day. About 50 Deloitte employees came out to the barn to lend a hand. They trimmed up the fence lines and the trail, built a new wash rack, planted flowers, and even painted the building! The place looks great and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Don’t forget about the Benefit Show and Food Booth the weekend of June 20th. We need volunteers to help side walk our riders as well as work the food booth. Sign up sheets are at the barn.

We also have two contests running. You can guess the number of spots Sunny has or when you think the new ring will be completed. Check it out next time you’re here.
