Youth Board Meeting Recap 
March 13- Tour Day 
It was both a productive and fun weekend for the AHYA Board. Directors arrived Thursday
evening to participate in a tour on Friday. 
AHA Moment Board Meeting: Click here for video
Lunch was held at Sam's #3 which is a diner that was featured on the Food Network's 'Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives'. After this we visited the Denver Art Museum where we saw the exhibit Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century.  This exhibit featured beautiful jewels and tiaras and amazing jewelry through the centuries. We ended the day by attending the 'Mane Event' at the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo where we were able to see multiple breeds put on demonstrations. Our favorite by far were the Icelandic ponies! It was an exciting tour day for all.  
 
 March 15 - Main Meeting and Lunch 
On Saturday, the Board had an agenda packed day full of new developments. Minutes are still being finalized and will be available online when finished.  Keep an eye out for them on the AHYA events page.  Some major developments from the meeting included the decision for AHYA to continue the Pink Flamingo Flocks at YNL as well as some great activities for the AHYA Convention.  They also finalized the schedule for YNL and decided on a limited edition item that will be sold at YNL.  It was a productive meeting! Check back on our events page for further updates. 
Theme it Up and Get Creative!

In November the AHYA Board voted to use the theme "Horsin' Around the World" for YNL and the AHYA Convention. Everyone is very excited for this theme and are looking forward to playing it up in the barn decorations and everything in between.


"Horsin' Around the World" will also be the theme for the Creative Contest.  Enter the Creative Contest in as many categories as you like for just $10! Photography, Creative Writing, Computer, Art, or Audio Visual - we want to see your many talents! Submit your entries no later than June 1 by signing up here
