CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL 2010 AWARD WINNERS2010 is over and NBHA OK 08 celebrated the year end with an awards banquet to be proud of. The Awards package for 2010 was in excess of $10,000.
Open awards were placed down to 5 places in all 5
divisions, Youth awards were placed down to 5 places
in all 4 divisions and all 5 Seniors received awards.
We also handed out Embroidered Hooded Jackets to
ALL OK 08 members who fulfilled their membership
obligations regardless of their year end placing in the
divisions.
A banquet of Lasagne and tea was catered by Pirate Island of Collinsville, Texas with dessert and
a variety of side dishes brought by the membership for all to enjoy.
Specialty awards included Blinged out Book Covers awarded to Judy and Robin for their super support of our association - working jackpots even when horseless, a special blinged Cowgirl Mug to Kim for being an outstanding new member to our group, and a set of boots awarded to Sydney for always helping anybody and everybody with their horses in the alley.
Jackets were given to Patty and Bambi for their outstanding work in gathering sponsors, Janet and John
for their constant help with early arrival and late departure at the jackpots, Scott for his loyal tractor
driving and Dee for secretary duties.
The entire membership also signed Thank You notes to send to all of our wonderful sponsors who without them none of this would be possible.
