"Time to Shine"
 Horse Shows
  
  In place of our annual horse show, Shining Stars will be featuring our students every night of the week on August 30th through September 3rd.
 
  On their respective night, each student will perform a final program that spotlights their accomplishments.  This gives the students more time to show family, friends, and spectators what they've been working on this summer. 
 
  Shows begin at 6:30 pm.     Team/student photos will be taken, and then distributed at the Celebration Day on Sept. 11th.

  Admission is free!  Hot dogs, walking tacos, snacks and drinks will be for sale at the Snack n Tack, so come hungry!

Pappy's Project
Benefit Ride - July 25th
Pappy's Proj 
On a hot Sunday morning, 40 motorcyclists and friends showed up to raise money for Pappy's Project.  Started by Pappy and Maggie Strouse as a way to provide healing and comfort to cancer patients, the program involves Shining Stars Saturday night and Sunday morning students.  The students make blankets, pray over them, and then deliver them to those battling cancer.  Over 400 blankets have been made and delivered.  Many cards of thanks have been received saying how blessed the receipients are to know they are being prayed for. 
 
   Thanks to all who baked goods and came out to make this event a success!!!
