The barrel season is right around the corner!  Our first show is scheduled  for April 27th in Crookston.  See the attached flyer for more details.  If you would like to host a barrel race, let me know and we will find a date and time.  I am going to plan a few doubles this year to help out with gas expenses. 

 

The banquet will be held in Bemidji at T. Juan’s at 1:00 on Sunday, April 6.  There will be a short meeting before award presentations.  Kristina and I have been busy ordering prizes and we hope to see everyone there! 

 

Cheryl Erickson has been out collecting sponsorships!  Way to go!!  The sponsorship program is different from added money at shows.  If a barrel racer is sponsored by a business or by a person that money is added to the prize fund and members collect points by shopping at sponsorship businesses.  Their name and business are also included in our newsletters and they may post signs at any or all of our shows.  This past year we had very few sponsors and in order to keep this program going we need a lot more!! (see attached)  We will discuss specifics of the program at the banquet.
