THANK YOU for CONTRIBUTING
Thank you to the following for their contribution to this newsletter:
David Berry, Sabina Karr, Joy Pedroni, Stephanie Pedroni, Kim Peters, Sue Rich, Cali Roberson, and Mo Zatzke
Editor’s Note:
Too much good stuff for one newsletter. In this volume, enjoy the Junior exhibitors’ spotlight pages. Read the reflections sheets the exhibitors filled out at the end of the day about their experience at the K & C Show. The superintendent, Susan Rich, uses this feedback for future shows. The exhibitors were able to bring a friend to the show. Enjoy the pictures of their friends as well as the exhibitors’ siblings enjoying their time on the courses with the llamas and alpacas. There are more great pictures from the day to check out. Again, thank you Stephanie and the many people who shared pictures with me for the newsletter.
