The October Trails is posted in CIS. It's a great issue. It is posted in the History Section.
From Steve Carlson:
This is an updated flyer for "Snowball Express CCO" on Nov 13. Please mark your calendars.
Notes from the GP Meeting: Tim Collier reported on the improvements that have been made at the Ranch since the last TICC. Those improvements included
(1) Installing a metal roof over the area between the Main Concession and the Judging Pavilion
(2) Constructed a retaining wall between the Main Concession and the Judging Pavilion to keep the mud and water from washing through the area.
(3) Constructed a 20' X 20' storage building behind the stage area to store ranch supplies and muesum memorabilia.
(4) Constructed a dry stack retainer wall on the NW side of the Old 320.
These projects all together cot $13,950.00
