Well, we survived our very first Ray Kneeland Memorial Trail Ride Poker Rally, and is was a resounding success (to us!).
A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to support us, and so generously donated and purchased poker hands.
I am pretty sure Dad was looking down on us, because things ran smoother than we could have ever hoped for.
The weather was absolutely glorious, and the riders were even better!
We had 27 riders both days, and our potluck supper Saturday night was unreal. I think it is safe to say we were all in a food coma after.
Jarvis Bushky, the owner of Grandma's House SK provided us with a perfect venue, and even made arrangements for homemade donuts for dessert Sat night.
We were lucky enough to have a great visit with Carla, Rob & Amberlee Baynton, and Karen Peters even brought Jackie Russell out to keep us in line on Saturday.
Barry Wall & Kammi popped out on Sunday, and Kammi even won the lowest poker hand prize on Sunday.
Thank you so much to our sponsors, Warman Veterinary Clinic - Rosthern Veterinary Clinic, Lakeview Insurance Brokers - Martensville, Ritchie Bros Auctioneers, Martensville Plumbing, & Martensville Building & Home, along with Early's Farm & Garden, Pet Valu Martensville, A&W Martensville, Saskatoon Coop Agro, Cowtown for door prizes.
We will update you with our final Telemiracle donation amount as soon as we can.
Here are a few pics from the weekend.
