Hello all! I hope that every family had a happy Easter. We will be having our banquet on May 4, 2008 at the Gaiser Park in Seymour at 3:00 pm. They have a volleyball court, basketball, baseball, horseshoes, and of course we will have a corn hole game. The district will supply the drinks and meat along with the place settings. We hope that every one will come even if you are not getting awards. Please keep looking at the mcdiamond website to keep informed of any changes in shows or any other updates. They are now putting show bills on the site. Our points are listed on there for 2008. If you have any questions about NBHA you will need to either email Bob Hess or myself. The owner of the website is not an NBHA director. Bob’s email is barrellhess@aol.com and our email is bdrfarm@wmconnect.com. Please add your NBHA number on all entry forms at the shows. This helps to ensure you are getting your points. You should also keep in mind, that if you let your membership expire, you only have a 30 day grace period to renew or you will forfeit your points.

Hello all! I hope that every family had a good holiday season. We had our annual directors meeting in December. I know most of you have got your letters from Bob by now and know about the changes to the show this year. The dates will be July 10, 11, 12, 13, 2008. Entries will need to be postmarked by 6/14/08. All late entries will be $50 per entry. Youth and Senior entries will close 9 am on Thursday. Open entries will close on Friday at 9 am. Entry forms and show bills will be mailed out May 1, 2008. To compete at the State Show a Member must have competed in three IN NBHA sanctioned shows for points within the Members district from 7/16/07 to 7/8/08. You do need to be a current member to compete at the State Show. This year the districts will not be required to work, but those that volunteer will get a special shirt that will only be given to the workers of the arena. There will be a sign up sheet at the State Show. District 4 will be in charge of the opening ceremonies on the Thursday. If you are interested in participating get with Richard. We will be responsible for the magnets, barrels, and the table top barrels, photo site, and helping with awards. District 3 is trying to set up entertainment for one day of the show. They will also be selling shirts. There have been some changes this year that I need to pass on. Dogs will not be allowed around the arena. They can be in the park area, but not around the bleachers and arena. There should be no glass bottles around the arena area. The park will have more police patrolling the area and will not be renting any golf carts. One thing that all of us need to keep in mind is SAFETY. With this said, we will be setting the arena up differently to promote a safer arena. It will be much like the way Nationals and World shows are set up. Remember the more sponsors that you get for the show the more free stuff you get. You also have the chance to get money for our year end awards. We will have the Tuff Enough to wear Pink again this year. This year the awards banquet will be in April. My grandfather passed away and I have been very busy helping my mother with my grandma who has Alzheimers, I do apologize for not having the banquet in March. Please make sure to keep the Newsletters for all of the Show Dates. I try to put them on the newsletters as I get them scheduled. One more thing, at the shows please be patient and kind with the office personnel. If you have a problem with the office help, please come and get with Richard or myself.
