 Bob Tucker is coordinating a hut trip for the RFVHC to the Betty Bear Hut for the nights of September 6 & 7, riding out on the 8th.  We will ride into the hut on the 6th, explore Lily Lake and surroundings on the 7th, and ride into the Frying Pan Lakes on the 8th. 

The cost is $65 per person for the hut plus $5 for certified hay so $70 per person for the two nights.  Each person will be responsible for the food and preparation for one meal.  Bring your own alcoholic beverages.  We will each bring our lunch the first day. Horses are limited to the first 8 who call Shelley  (927 4202) and send her their checks but there is no limit to those without horses. All must RSVP. Right now we have the hut to ourselves.
 
Please call if you are interested.  We are almost full but will take a waiting list and may be able to do another trip if enough interest.   Happy Trails to all

   Volunteers are needed for a variety of "jobs"....  assist the Timer; Registration on Saturday; Help with lunches-Sat/Sun and Dinner Sat eve, assist the vets by filling out the vet cards; help take pulses (can be easily learned-no experience is necessary), "floaters" to help as needed. Etc...  It is very exciting to watch if you have never been to an event.   
  If you can help it would be so much appreciated...it "takes a village" to pull these events off and hope you can come out and watch and help us out or enter the competition.
