Team Penning and Sorting for everybody.
The 3rd annual Great Lakes Team
Penning Finals are here. We have been blessed with getting an awesome
facility for our Team Penning Friends. Michigan State University is the
place to be October 31, at 5:00PM. We will kick the night off with our Top
30 penning class. If you are in the top 30 and can’t make it on Friday
night please contact me so I can move down the list. Each top 10 person
will draw two names making their three man team. All 10 teams will then
compete in penning on Friday and then sort on Sunday. Points will be given
for each team that receives a time. The top two teams with the most points
will win a portion of the $500.00. Don’t forget about the Calcutta.
Anybody can purchase teams and the payback is great!
Stall reservations are due by October 20th.
$55.00 per stall. One horse per stall. Please get them in so I can give
MSU a count. $15.00 fee per day for those who do not purchase a stall.
Also, camping is available for $13.00 per night. Please also mail your
camping money with your stall reservations. Payable to GLTPA 5691 Rich Rd,
Alma. Mi. 48801
I want to THANK EVERYBODY for your
continued support throughout the past 8 years. Especially all of you that
help run shows, put on shows, and behind the scene work. I hope we can keep
this great sport alive. I’m willing to make changes to make you happy. I
had heard that there was some interest in the 3-D events, so I’m excited to
try it to give penner's a variety. Please understand I’m doing this to try
and keep the sport growing.
If you have any constructive thoughts on this issue would you please email
me or give me a call. I have heard some great positive responses. I do
realize there are also people out there that may not agree with the way
shows are run, ratings, etc…...
Please just remember, all we are trying to do it provide a place for you to
pen and hang out with your friends.
Friend’s that share a common interest.

Back to the
good part…. We have $5,000.00 added in money and prizes. If you are
a member before the finals start and have attended two shows you are
qualified to run for that $5,000.00. Plus 50% of the jackpot. If you
choose not to become a member and have not been to two shows you still have
a chance at $1,000.00 added. Plus 50% payback and a great time
with all of us.
So, GLTPA members, here is your chance to spread the word. Anybody that
brings in a new team penner will have his or her name put into a draw pot.
You will have a chance at winning a GLTPA jacket.
Please don’t forget to think of a most improved
person. And also, a person that you think is very sportsmanlike.
Bring your Halloween costume for Saturday
night. After the show, we will have a pre party and Calcutta at the
Pavilion. If you wish you may join us after the Calcutta, at the Whiskey
Barrel for Bull Ridding and entertainment.
MSU will have a concession stand open
Friday, through Sunday. Please keep your dogs on a leash.
I’m really looking forward to a GREAT
2008
Show at MSU. I hope all of you can join us and enjoy the
fun.
