Fundraising

Free money from Bank of America  - sounds like a good idea to me. If we deposit at least $750 each month for 3 consecutive months the give you $150. Well we are 1/3 of the way there!!! October's deposits exceeded that and the month isn't over yet. Anyone out there planning to buy a T-shirt for a Christmas present or hoof shears or....??? There should be more items up on the Come to the Farm Auction soon so check it out. I plan to hold of making the next deposit till after Nov 1st and then so we can try to qualify for this free money. After that we'll still need a total of at least $750 to deposit for Dec. but lets focus on 1 month at a time.

If you are into the cleaning mode and have something to donate you can contact me or Ellen if you need help listing it. You can list things yourself but that is up to you.

Floor plan for 2011 Show

Been working most of the afternoon on different floor plans for the 2011 ADGA National Show. Think I might finally have a couple of workable arrangements for the pens. When Greg was out for his site visit in Sept we had determined where and how to have the 2 show rings side by side. With that figured out all I needed to do was figure out how we can still fit in about 1000 pens and still have room for vendors. Its a good think I really like puzzles because this was a real challenge. Think I actually have a workable plan at this point. Need to confirm a couple of measurements and get a couple of details ironed out. The fact that some of our pens are 6 x 6 and others are 9 x 9 does an extra element to the challenge. Hopefully everyone will be happy with the final arrangement.
