Fall Show Buckle Program

Thanks to the mother and daughter brainstorming of Terri and Lexi Warren, plans are coming together to offer trophy buckles as awards at the Fall Wenatchee Show, not just for the Futurity Classes, but classes for which we have not offered buckles recognizing grass roots success at the affiliate/club class level. We will publicize the sponsors names as we receive the funds with additional recognition given by the announcer at the show. The support of additional sponsors is always welcome. Contact Dave McKim at 253-740-4114 or e-mail him at davemckim@msn.com to become a buckle sponsor. The sponsor amount per buckle is $200.

Funding Sponsors:

Lyle and Susan Ernst
Hilltop Ranch (Dave and Mary Kay McKim)
Joshua Green (2 buckles)
Silver Aspen Ranch (La Rae Powell and family)
The Detro Family (Scott, Phyllis and Ashley)
Stargate Ranch (Cory Hutchings)
Cory Hutchings Performance Horses
Mason Creek Farm (Vicki and Daniel Horne)
Avila's Pro Shop

NOTE: There is a soccer tournament in Wenatchee the same weekend as this show. Many teams have reserved blocks of rooms, so you may encounter some difficulty getting a room if you don't book early. There are usually quite a few no-shows from teams who decide not to play in the tournament, so previously reserved blocks rooms are usually made available anywhere from one month to two weeks prior to the show. For example, if you are not able to get a room in August, you might find that there are rooms available if you call after September 1st.
