HALLOWEEN PARTY !!!!
I AM STILL WORKING OUT THE DETAILS ABOUT THIS PLAYDAY, BUT MANY JR. CLUB MEMBERS WERE UPSET THAT SANDSPUR WAS NOT HAVING A COSTUME CONTEST AT THIS YEARS OCTOBER SHOW. THIS IS GOING TO BE A HALLOWEEN PARTY FOR ALL THE JR. CLUB MEMBERS. LIKE I SAID THE DETAILS ARE STILL BEING WORKED OUT AND AFTER THE OCTOBER SHOW I WILL HAVE A DATE AND TIME. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS TO HELP MAKE THIS A FUN PARTY FOR EVERYONE. YES COSTUMES WILL BE REQUIRED!!! I WILL BE ASKING THAT EVERY JR. CLUB MEMBER PLEASE BRING A COVERED DISH AND A DESERT TO HELP KEEP THE COST DOWN. ALSO IF ANYONE HAS ANY HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS THAT THEY CAN LET US BORROW FOR THE NIGHT PLEASE GET WITH ME. START THINKING ABOUT GAMES THAT WE CAN PLAY...AND CHECK YOUR CALENDARS SO WE CAN GET A GOOD DATE AND TIME SET!!!

*SEE SHOW THIS SHOWS PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION*
THIS SHOW, EVEN THOUGH I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND, IS SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR OVER 2 YEARS. IT TAKES MORE THEN ONE PERSONS DREAM AND DEDICATION TO PUT ON A BENEFIT SHOW LIKE THIS. THIS IS A CHANCE FOR SANDSPUR TO SHOW THAT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE A SMALL RIDING CLUB IN A SMALL TOWN, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RAISE JUST AS MUCH MONEY AS THESE BIG RODEOS. ANYONE AT ANY AGE CAN GET CANCER. EVERYDAY YOU HEAR MORE AND MORS STORIES ABOUT HEALTHY PEOPLE GETTING CANCER. I LOST A VERY CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER TO THIS DISEASE. WE ARE ASKING SANDSPUR MEMBERS TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS BENEFIT SHOW AND HELP US RAISE MONEY. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE NOT AWARE...SANDSPUR IS PUTTING UP THE ADDED MONEY FOR THIS BARREL RACE TO DRAW IN MORE RIDERS. EVERY PENNY EARNED BUY THE MEMBERS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TO HELP FUND THE RESEARCH NEEDED TO FIND A CURE! TOUGH ENGOUH TO WEAR PINK HAS GIVEN US PERMISSION TO USE THEIR SLOGAN TO PROMOTE THIS BARREL RACE, AND IT IS ALREADY ON THEIR WEBSITE. A "TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK" BUCKLE HAS BEEN ORDERED TO RAFFLE OFF, AND "TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK" ITEMS WILL BE PURCHASED TO FURTHER OUR FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT DONATING SO FAR ARE...SAMSULA WASTE INC., WEAVER CONSTRUCTION, VOLUSIA FEED, LUZNAR FEED, SANTANA GROUP, JOPPS TACK, AND BARRY OWNBY. WE STILL NEED THE "BIG BUSINESSES" LIKE THE CAR DEALERS, BANKS, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF. DONATION LETTERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL THE MEMBERS TO HAND OUT!!!
