Dear Fellow BVD Members,
It's hard to believe August is here already and we are just weeks away from our 'So Long to Summer' show. We hope that many of you will be able to join us at Sextant Farms on August 25th to either watch, volunteer or compete. Details about the show can be found below under Show Resources.
Congratulations to our Junior/Young Riders who competed in Kentucky in July. See Julie's article below for their story.
Our next meeting will be Monday, August 12th at the home of Stephanie Margulis. Find her address and map in the block to the right. We'll be finalizing the details for the upcoming show as well as this year's BVD awards banquet, to be held in January, 2014. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting. Hope to see you there... and have a great ride!
