(Please note that only the articles from the Newsletter are presented here.)
Would any one be interested in holding a swap meet this summer? Everyone could bring in tools or other items to sell or trade. If you'd be interested in setting something up, let Steve Muir know. This is just an idea and he is trying to see if there is any interest.
Serenity Farms will be hosting a clinic September 27th and 28th. Keynote speakers will be Ryan Zimmerman D.V.M from Westview veterinary center in Freemont Ohio, and Randy Luikart C.J.F from Mansfield Ohio. The clinic will be held at the Holiday Inn in Freemont on Saturday, and at Westview veterinary center on Sunday. For more information contact Deb DeHoff at (419) 833-1308 or ddehoff4@amplex.net.

President's Letter:
We are working on finalizing details for the 2003 Fall Contest/Clinic.
Troy Price will be the Judge/Clinician. The event will be held at the
Findlay Equine Facility. Dates are October 3-5. Michael McNutt and I are
co-coordinating the contest. Call Michael at (740) 826-9919 for details.
Also, the flyers for the Fall Clinic have been mailed. If you did not
receive yours, please call and we'll send one your way. We need auction
items. Please bring any item that you want to donate.
Russell and Judy Hite, the makers of Buddy Aprons, will
be attending the fall clinic at Findlay. They will have a trailer setup
for repairs or for custom chaps. If you have any chaps that need attention
or want some chaps custom made, stop by the contest. I hope everyone is
well.
