Maryland Horse Industry Board Grant Application Status
Carolyn reported our grant application for money to advertise in the Equiery was not chosen this time. See the Equiery for information on the grant recipients.
Lisbon Horse Parade
Discussion was held in regards to this wonderful event, organized by the Harrison family, with many compliments on such a successful fund raiser. Janet Breeding did share an observation that may be helpful in fundraising at that event in the future….provide donation buckets for the spectators to make a donation if they are inclined to do so. Another idea was to have people on “stick horses” with the donation buckets, to work the spectator crowd. |
