*** We will need new Chairmen and committees to run the Hunter show for next season. The current committee has other commitments that will keep them from running it next season. The show is set up so that the change of committees will be easy.... lots of information on what needs to be done. We need volunteers to step up before the awards banquet in July so that we are able to get the next season's shows in place or the judges will not get booked in time. Please contact Maggie Pogue if you are interested or have any questions about how it all works. (352)528-5221 horseshoecross@embarqmail.com
