Utah has pulled out of the Rupert fall shows, so there will only be a Rupert spring show in 2009 (April 25th).
New business
We want to purchase a new computer program for some of the money earned from the Specialty. Some information has
been gathered, but more people will continue to ask around and get a feel for what works well before we make a decision.
Dana and Linda have been looking at trailers. No used ones have been available that fit our needs and were worth
buying. They then started looking at new ones. One with a side door would be great even if it costs a bit more. They will
continue to check out and compare a few more before deciding. Dana and Linda were casually given mandate to make a
decision and buy one.
