Thrall 4H/FFA Booster Club 5D Open Results
Have been moved to our searchable format:
http://ebarrelracing.com/barrel-racing-results/thrall-4h-ffa-booster-club-5d-open-rockdale-fair-park-july-27-2013/Marty and I would like to personally thank each of you for coming out and supporting our 4H/FFA kids and their livestock projects. This was our 4th year to sponsor this event and it has steadily continued to grow. We had 320 entries going in to the evening, but AGAIN this year, the weather caused several to back out. We ended up with 276 entries and ended a little earlier than last year…..it was about 3:15am when we wrapped up the race.
We know many of you had to drive a long way and at 4:00 this morning, when we were passing out checks and presenting the saddle and buckles, many of you were still with us.
We are considering making this a 2 day event next year. If you have any comments or suggestion about changing it to 2 days, please message me.
Thanks for being patient with us during the power outage and to all those who helped get it going so quickly.
An update on Macey Vaculin.....” Thank you to all for the thoughts and prayers. Macie is okay and resting. The CT scan this morning showed that everything looked great, just a concussion.” - Choya Vaculin. So thankful this turned out good!!
We had $11,694.00 in payouts!!!! If you have a buckle, youth prize bucket or money to pick up, please email me at
[email protected] and let me know if you would like for me to mail you the check or if you would like to pick up the cash. If you are close to Elgin, I can leave it at Marty’s hospital for you to pick up there this coming week.
We still have t-shirts available, if you would like to purchase one, contact me and I will get it to you.
WE would also like to thank ALL our silent auction contributors, those who donated and those who purchased. This was a HUGE success, bringing our club about $9000.00. Thank you to Samantha Lyne for being the top bidder and taking home the GREAT Embryo Transfer Package from Elgin Veterinary Hospital and Noble Equine Veterinary Services.
Thank you, Upton Ranch, Sherry Cervi (Potter Ranch), JB Quarter Horses, Jud Little Ranch, Southwest Stallion Station and Brittany Pozzi for your very generous donations for a breeding to one of your stallions.
