County Fairgrounds.

best! This will most likely be the last meeting until February, so please come
and give us your input! We had some unfinished business last month, so have set
a meeting for November.
We typically don't meet in December or January so need to the get Summer Sizzler
and clinic dates figured out at this meeting. The sooner we decide on dates the
easier it is to get a judge. Bring your calendars!!
We also still have an opening for a Secretary. If you would love to be a part of this council and help to plan the path to a successful you in the Horse Program, consider volunteering for the Secretary position. Once a month you will be responsible for taking notes to document our meetings. It’s a great way to learn about the Horse Program for anyone new to the Program as well!
We are also looking for someone, perhaps a teen 4H member, to promote and report on the 4H horse events in Lincoln County. If you are interested, please come to the meeting or contact me.
