NBHA would like to use the Arena for a barrel race on May 21st. Donna Barleen made a motion to rent the Arena to the NBHA for $100. Lance Lagasse seconded it and the motion passed. The NBHA will need someone to run the tractor for the event.

Ladies Trail Ride on May 21st; a group will leave Town & Country in Concordia at 10:45 am to go to Rock Creek Station.

Drill Team Committee
The notice for the Drill Team Committee meeting was sent out with too short of notice for everyone to attend.

Rodeo Committee
Since no one signed up for the Concession Stand Committee, the Rodeo Committee thought about extending an offer to the CHS Booster Club. Several members were disappointed that no one signed up for the Concession Stand Committee and signed up on the spot. The members were Kandi Buchwald, Susan Sterling, and Lana Stolzenburg.

Lana addressed that the restrooms were not available during the Cowboy Dressage Event and the Equine Dentist and Chiropractor. She suggested having a porta potty available for such situations. It has been looked in to in the past and the cost was too much. In the future better effort will be made to ensure that restrooms will be available.

Lance will get the broken gates fixed in May or mid-June.

The Cloud County Historical Museum is looking for a buggy and a blacksmith for Fall Fest weekend (9/24). Contact Florence Gerard for more information.

Typically we sponsor two trophies for the 4-H. Katie Revell Lehmann made a motion to sponsor the two trophies for 4-H. Brenda Lagasse seconded the motion and the motion passed.

The meeting was adjourned.
