Hi all! First off, we would like to thank all of the Exhibitors that came and supported the Evergreen Spectacular Show! We so appreciate it very much! Low numbers, but mighty in showing! Your patience and smiles were also greatly appreciated.
Special thank-you's to our staff... we had some newbies working, and some who hadn't done it for awhile... Even with the typical gap of no entry classes, it still seemed to go by quickly... or maybe it was just that I was so busy in the office. 🤪 Then there were our Judges, Renee Bush and Jackie Tyler... you guys ROCK! Stacy Score kept things running at the gate... even with it being a 'little' chilly -in-between the breaks of sun, wind gusts, and downpour of rain squalls. You just never know about the weather here... and actually many places these days, and of course the challenges with the temperamental PA system - oh, and everyone appreciated the donuts you sponsored and brought each morning. Special thank you for our WSH Steward, Tammy Jones, we appreciated your presence and support! It was a great new experience.
Phil Keairns kept us apprised with announcements. Thank you so much Phil, and also for pitching in and helping out when needed! Thank you Barb Keairns for helping out in the office. Thanks to Cindy Morris for spreading yourself thin with your job there, and also helping out.. setting and taking down courses etc. Thanks to Leslie Herron, our Show Steward... also pitching in and helping where needed! Then to our Ring Stewards, Larrie Oien and Hailey Brother for playing gopher and getting ribbons to the placers.. Thank You! The Swartz's once again set up our hospitality table and center ring... Thank You!
Spirits were up throughout... everyone seemed to keep their patience and understanding. Thank You All! Being a first time Show Manager, there were a lot of things learned, what to do... and what not to do next show... but especially, how it takes a village to run a horse show. Please keep that in mind for next year, if you are willing to volunteer some time to help, please let us know. There's also always projects to work on within the Club itself, and the help is always appreciated!
If anyone has pictures we could share, please email or messenger them and we'll post them! Thank you again, Joanne Anderson
