Melanie sent this email detailing what was handed out for year end awards. The 2008 sign up sheet/rules are on the website.
I gave you the list of the placings last night. But, thought it would be nice to mention what the awards were.
We had 5 horses signed up, so just split the $ 5 ways. so, everybody
received a $60 value award. Since we had the extra time with the year
end meeting cancelled in Dec. I let the winners chose their own
award.
Bittons wanted something with their horse on it, so Diana Dunnell
painted a coat rack. (By the way, it was a $100 unit, and she gave it
to us for the $60).
George Chick asked for a Gist gift certificate.
Stacie Sichelstiel wanted a Montana Silver gift certificate, and I
added to it and she ordered a real nice buckle, complete with horses
name and year end award from PEAC.
Jole and George chose a couple items from a catalog, a horse head wall clock and a fountain for the two awards for their Arabs.
Hoping since everybody saw the awards last night, they'll be encouraged to sign up a horse this year.
