Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. It has been brought to my attention we are meeting 4 times this week so to make things easier on everyone. Tuesday’s Team meeting has been canceled.
Drill Team Members: Coach Jeff said we will go over the music next time we meet, and he will see you at the parade.
Horse Bowl Members: Your next meeting is Thursday December, 11. I will pick up at the high school let me know if you want me to pick up your child. The meeting is 6:00-8:00, please bring a 1 inch binder to put your study materials in.
The link for the Junior and Senior Manual is
http://www.uky.edu/Ag/4hhorse/index_files/Page448.htm if you need a copy, we are not using the additional questions yet. Homework for Seniors is Breeds page 11-13, and the new material will be Anatomy page 2-10. That’s what we will be working on at our next meeting. For the Juniors Equipment Pages 7-11 and Anatomy Section the page numbers are off but it’s the first section in the Junior manual.
Horse Games: Keep eating your eclairs and working on gathering equipment.
Reminder Thursday December 4 at 7:00 at the Extention office is the County 4-H banquet for last year’s members. I encourage everyone who was a member last year to attend. I do not know who is getting any of the awards, they are decided by the county. The Matt Edwards Award, The I Dare You Award, and the Senior Award will all be presented. Please wear your green T-shirts if you know where they are, I believe we are the largest club in the county. They are asking each family to bring a desert (sorry I was wrong about that one.) In addition if you want to participate in the Reading Reindeer program that counts for our participation in a community service project bring in a children’s book to donate.
Christmas Parade: I currently have 6 adults riding: Jeff/Molly, Cyndi, Myself/Sugar Lady, Julie/Pat, Kim, Sherry. I have kids riding: Jordan F/Sweets, Danielle/Redman, Addie/Angel, Lindsey, Logan, Trevor/Zoro, Brandon/Lightning, Amber/Gypsy, Jacob, Kelsey S, Rachel, Haley/Zip.
I still have not heard from the Aldridges, Perry’s, Cody, Candice or Olivia from the drill team, please let me know if you will be riding so we know if we have enough saddle pads. You do not have to be on the drill team to participate, you just need to be a member of the Horse-N-Around club or an adult volunteer. We also have the float for parents or siblings to ride on, unfortunately since we are entered as 4-H horse club no clover buds will be allowed to ride horses but they will be allowed to ride the float with a parent. We are allowed to wear Santa Hats riders under 19 must have on helmets, although I encourage everyone to wear one because of the environment and the surface. We will be riding back to the fairgrounds as a group and will have the float truck to block the riders on the ride back. The float judging is at 8:20, Jeff asked for everyone to be there no later than 8:30 if you are riding to go over drill moves to be done on the parade route. The parade starts at 10:00 AM we will be starting from the Fairgrounds.
The same night we are participating in the Bagdad parade with the float we will not be riding because it is after dark. Everyone riding the float can meet at the Radcliff’s the parade starts at 7:00 PM.
Thanks,
Jessica
