Old Business:
Tack Sale Wrap-up: (Negaunee Township Hall March 26):
- Worked well and was a nice social event. During the 3 hours, we made $1141 profit.
- Lisa sent thank you to Kathy Solka for her quilt donation. Kathy has a quilt for next year.
- Consider shortening the Tack Sale from 3 hours to 2 and change hours to 11AM to 1PM (presale to MCHC club at 10:30) and reposition the entry fee collection to the front door.
- Class Sponsors Update—There are still lots of slots open but we have $805 so far with recent collection by Tess of $200. She earns a free stall or camping for the weekend.
- Preregistrations, Stall Reservations Update—There are 20 outside stalls remaining and 3 people have paid for their classes, stalls, and shavings.
- Concessions Stand—Lisa made a motion to have The Island Food Truck come on Saturday, from 10 to 3PM, Tess seconded. Motion passed. The Pony Club also offered to do concessions. Andi will see if they are willing to do prepackaged stuff on Friday night.
- Ribbons & Awards & Prizes Update—Lisa will check to see if Maddi has the ribbons.
- Port-A-Potties/Handwashing Station—Andi arranged for Friday early afternoon delivery.
- Judges—The contracts have been signed and returned. Lisa sent them new UPHA rule books.
- Work Bee for Horse Barns at the Fairgrounds, Thursday, June 2, at 6PM—At that time, we will assign stalls, put preordered shavings in stalls, get registration ready, other show prep, and set-up volunteer’s campers.
- Member’s Social Event—Maddi suggested a campout at the Fairgrounds with the club buying steaks. With everyone’s busy summer schedule, we are considering Sunday, June 5. Lisa will call Maddi and check with Cindy.
- Next Meeting and location—Tuesday, June 28, Marquette County Fairgrounds.
