Old Business:
Marquette County Fair Update. All the horse shows ran smoothly and the weather was great. This year’s carnival has already signed a contract to return next year. The livestock people appreciated being able to leave Sunday morning for the UP State Fair.
Sally’s Ride Weekend (September 21-22). MCHC is once again proud to cosponsor this event. There will be a wedding that weekend so all horse traffic needs to come through the back gate. Set-up will begin after 3 p.m. on Friday in the main barn. The only tables we have access to are in the 4-h building.
Brandi Rolling has a scheduling conflict and won’t be attending Sally’s Ride this year so there WON’T be a Saturday Fun Show or a Sunday clinic. The Trail Rides depart at 1 p.m. There will be a short trail ride lasting about 1 hour, and a long trail ride lasting about 3 hours. (Karen, Brandi and Darlene will mark trails a day or so prior.). Registration, potluck, and bucket raffles will be in the main barn. A potluck dinner will begin at 4:30 p.m. with the bucket/basket raffle and bonfire following. Paint Ponies Studios will be staffing a “Paint the Pony” activity on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. for $5 per person. Every paid adult horse club member receives $10 in cash (for helping out, camping, volunteering, riding and participating in Sally’s Ride) and each child member will receive $5 in cash. Lisa Pellegrini will need to provide updated MCHC member’s list. There will be opportunities during Saturday to tour the new UPAWS facility.
MCHC will provide free hot dogs to attendees on Saturday for lunch and pulled pork for the potluck. Andi will pick up the food. Cheri and Maddi will bring paper supplies. Joan will purchase water bottles and Cheri will bring muck buckets and ice. Joan is bringing start-up cash, registration forms and raffle tickets. Cathy Waller will bring the big strip switches. Cheri will be contacting several businesses for donations. Joan and Andi have a few basket donations already but could use more. Andi will bring the ice cream containers and a roll of plastic for the tables.
A port-potty has been ordered and will be delivered on Friday. Cathy, Tess and Andi will be helping with
Saturday registration. Cathy will secure a volunteer to check Coggin’s and direct traffic on Saturday morning from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. As of the meeting, only 10 stalls were taken. People will need to bring their own bedding and instructed to keep horses out of the camping area (across from the chicken barn).
Work Bee/Camping Weekend:MCHC will host a work bee camping weekend at the fairgrounds for Friday thru Sunday, September 28-30th. This would be a member’s only event to help clean up the grounds and put things away and in general havefun.
