June 2010

A huge thank you to all MCHA members whom came out and supported the first MCHA produced cutting of the year in Twin Bridges May 22 and 23rd. An even bigger huge thank you is due to all of you whom cowboyed up and braved the cold and wet conditions. There is no doubt that each and every one of you cares for and believes in this association and its growth. Without a doubt, the biggest thank you needs to go out to Copper Spring Ranch, whom sponsored a full day’s cutting, along with numerous local Twin Bridges area sponsors-we could not have done it without all of our great sponsors. Our hat is off to you each and every one of you.

The MCHA Twin Bridges show, what a great success!! The members of this association raised approximately $7000! This is your money and will be funneled back into our association to be used to produce more shows and fund our awards and special events.

Thank you to all for such a fabulous job and show of support! Let’s keep it rolling by supporting the next MCHA co-produced cutting which will July 24 and 25th in Whitehall. Hope to see you all there with some much appreciated sunshine this time!

Theresa Nelson, MCHA President
