May 2011- Come Join Us
Hot off the presses, the March BCHI calendar winner is Heather Dobbs from Emmett. I will present the $500.00 check to this young lady at the upcoming May meeting. Our Roving reporter Phil plans to capture this Kodak moment.
Spring has sprung, so Fred & I are hitting the trail to get in shape and have some fun riding. The good looking mules are Babe and Sis who have been taking care of me on backcountry trips for years.
The annual Potluck Ride at the Butte hosted by Charles and Ellen was outstanding. The weather was awesome, the views unbelievable and the food was delicious, as usual. I do need to report a disappearance of some home baked cookies that left the food table and ended up in someones horse trailer. Please let Terry and Gail know if you have any information. Also a new budding romance is developing between Lilly and a sorrel Quarter horse. Stay tuned for more details. It was great seeing Linda Adams and Kay Ryan too.
The AQHA/BCHI ride is coming up Saturday May 7th at the Wilson Creek Trail Head, near Murphy and Janine Townsend and Margaret Bergeron are off and galloping with this project. It is great having their fresh ideas on this project. Way to go you two!
Also lets not forget about Spring Highway cleanup Wednesday the 11th starting at 6:00 pm. Charles Lox is coordinating and is anxious to find another interesting item during this cleanup. Could it be time for Bear II? Actually, this important project shows our commitment to the Emmett community; enables us to keep the Sign on the Highway, which promotes our organization. Kudos to Charles for taking it on again in 2011.
The Yard sale is right around the corner too on the 28th and Terry, Gail, and Ellen are coordinating that for us. Bring your treasures and have fun helping the SBBCH chapter with one of its fund raising activities. How about another large Saw or perhaps some other Education items to keep us safe out there?
Check out the Chapters activity page as there are some outstanding Education clinics and Trail projects too. Hope you can make some of the fun activities in May and of course the rest of the summer. The SBBCH goal is to offer a variety of fun events, rides, clinics, trail projects, good food throughout the year, so our members will have some options to choose from. Please come join us when you can.
