Happy New Year- Almost!

Stock Show- Jan 7th- 22nd

We currently have $175 in our fund. What do you guys think about offering a $5 credit to members and their family towards each event ticket? There are many $10 events, so this would bring the member cost of a rodeo or Superdogs and all day admission to $2-5 a person.

4-h receives discounted tickets. The link for dates, times and prices can be found at: http://www.nationalwestern.com/tickets/files/grouppricesschedule_color_2012.pdf

All event tickets include Grounds Admission all day. There is a charge for parking. We have not had any issues bringing in our own food and drinks.

We will be attending the Thursday 10:30 Rodeo on 1/19 for sure (in the $10 seating), and we usually go see the Draft horses as well. However, you are welcome to attend any event you choose. Please let me know ASAP what you would like to see and I can help you get signed up. You do not have to attend events with a large group and are welcome to go as a family if that works best. Friends and guests are welcome to come with you/us and take advantage of discount pricing, but will not receive the $5 a ticket "club money".

Jan 12th meeting Art and Photography. Bring your camera or your favorite art supplies. We will be talking about the photography and fine art units in 4-H. I will have some art supplies available for painting and drawing. 6:30 at the church.
