PtHA of Illinois

Welcome to spring fellow Pinto members, it is time to get out the heat light, extra blanket and your shedding brush.  PtHA of Illinois has been extremely busy this winter.  For 2010 PtHA of Illinois elected new Officers and board members.  Lisa McCauley President; Dale Timmermann, Vice President, Heather Acosta, Secretary and Jocelyn English Treasure.  Board Members are Michelle Kilcullen, Valerie Gramm, Mark Killick and Paige Heinke.   In January the annual Awards Banquet was held where a full royalty court was crowned. Miss Katie Zimmer is the new queen; she will be representing PtHA of Illinois at the World show this summer. Royalty court includes Princess - Jasmine Brown, Sweetheart - Lauren Zengeler and
Duke -Trevor Driessens. 

PtHA of Illinois is hosting a variety of shows this summer. PtHA of Illinois is offering two PtHA shows; May 1, 2010 and a Jubilee show July 24, 2010.  Both shows will be located at Boone County Fairgrounds, Belvidere, Illinois.  PtHA of Illinois also will be hosting OPEN shows. They will be held on May 2, July 25 and September 19 at the Boone County Fairgrounds. These are being held in conjunction with the PtHA of Illinois Point shows the day before.  There will also be a YOUTH fun show August 21, 2010 in Hampshire Illinois.  All of the show bills are available at www.illinoispinto.com.

Show Season Kick Off General meeting on Sunday April 11, 1pm.  Woodstock Ranch, Woodstock IL.  For more information see Nell has offered to host at her Woodstock Ranch.  We did a similar meeting at my shop two years ago and we had a great turnout. Anyone with show clothes to sell or trade or tack, can bring them, we had several other vendors to help members get ready for show season; chap maker, Patti Bohmann did make-up.....  Please encourage everyone to come and if there is a vendor please have them bring their wares and/or cards. It's a great way to Kick Off The Show Season and to get new members!!

On behalf of the entire club I would like to wish Katie Zimmer the best of luck at the World show.
