Thought I'd ad this blurb - we desperately need major sponsors for John Lyons which will be Saturday July 19. We paid John $5000 in 2006 and had 175 people in attendance. ASAP ended up with about $100 after it was all said and done......and we had hoped to sell over 300 tickets this year, which is NOT happening. I know fuel prices are hurting everyone. I am offering free tickets to anyone who collects pledges for the horses or to sponsor a child from our community that would not otherwise be able to come. I am also encouraging businesses to sponsor, or those of you who have connections with major businesses to rally their support in order to be able to pay John for his time. How about Wrangler? Farm and Fleet? Tractor Supply Co? Local businesses? Anyone who can offer an hour of their time to help us rally support would be appreciated. I will also be contacting the race tracks and asking for their sponsorship but unless this is a group effort I am horribly afraid we will fail to meet our goals. Also, if you plan to come but will buy tickets at the farm, please RSVP and let me know so that I can get a head count of who is coming. Time is quickly approaching - help if you can! So far the Lions Club is serving food, Tabby Town and other local animal rescues will participate. The jury is still out on the 4-H clubs in our area.........as there is a horse show that day...........Also Flying Horse Stables will be here! SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS
