February 2008

 

3…2…1…HALT!   REVERSE! 2…3…4…  Does this bring back good memories of last year’s Maple Crest Drill Team?  Well, once again it’s time to put on the woolies and come out to Maple Crest Farms for our first walk-through for the 2008 Maple Crest Drill Team.  Be ready to meet with Joyce, Terry and Dave Munson (our designer) on Sunday, March 2nd, in the “upper room”. No horses first time—be prepared to do a walk-through. (Remember the snowstorm???)

 

Do you know any youth interested in joining 4H? The Blazing Saddles 4H Club will be meeting at Maple Crest Farms for the first time this year on Sunday, Feb. 17th at 2 p.m.  Spread the word to any youth you think might be interested in learning more about 4H.
