A Few Fair Photos (I promise to do better next year about getting shots of dogs and cats too!)

Jess isn't too cool to spend a few minutes with her little brother Shawn!

September Meeting Notes

The September meeting was the first of our fall meetings after a relaxing fun and fair-filled summer. There were several things addressed on the new business agenda. The following are the highlights: Heather made a proposal (seconded by Alison H.) to change our club name from Spirit Seekers to something new. Please be thinking of ideas that you like for names and color changes for the October meeting. Nicole made a proposal to create a homemade banner with our club name (even if we keep Spirit Seekers) to display at fairs, etc. Tanya made a proposal that as a club we reserve the group camping site in the spring (perhaps first weekend in May) at Ionia State Park. The cost is extremely low (0nly $1.50 per person), and the park is close enough to make it accessible by all. This particular park also has options for the non-horse person, swimming, hiking, etc.

Other business from the meeting: Thanks to Don for showing us all how to change a tire! A few of us will be driving north to the Kettenun Center to learn to make a variety of crafts. Leaders may attend two of these trainings a year for free and the cost for members is minimal. If you'd like to go and need a ride please call Carmen.

End of the Summer Pool Party!

Challie braved the freezing, cold water at Steph's pool at Last Stop Farm to join in the end of the fair season pool party.

Jack might just be the perfect mascot for Spirit Seekers--Look at all his spirit!

Steph reads over the ribbons earned at the Ottawa Co. Fairs this summer, while Mary gets ready to relax!
