Youth President’s Message
July 2008
Dear Youth Members,
It is my honor and
pleasure to welcome you to the 2008 PHBA Western Hauler Youth World
Show. We are extremely excited about our sponsorship with Western
Hauler and the perks that come with Western Hauler’s commitment to our
youth program. This week offers an opportunity for a great
competition, great fellowship, and a whole lot of fun, so everyone
please join us in making GREAT MEMORIES in Tulsa in ’08!
This year, there are
a great number of fantastic activities. The stalls will be available
to move in on Sunday, July 13 at 8:00 a.m. The Kick-Off-Bash is
scheduled to begin on Monday, July 14. The evening activities will
begin with line up for Parade of States at 4:30 p.m., followed by the
showcase of our future PHBA youth members in the Costume Stick Horse
Race. The Appreciation Reception, for sponsors, volunteers, trainers
and parents, will be at 5:45 p.m. At 6:45 p.m., Western Hauler will
bring the crowd to their feet, with the thrill and excitement of the
Western Hauler T-Shirt Throw. At 7:00 p.m., entertainment will begin
by the Youth Benefit: Amazing Race and finally at 9:00 p.m., all PHBA
youth members are invited to the annual Drysdale’s $1000 giveaway.
Drysdales continues to be a very enthusiastic supporter of the PHBA-Y
World Show. Remember, everyone has a chance to win, but you must be
present to win. Cross your fingers, this year it may be YOU!!
A Progressive Dinner
will be held on Wednesday July 16, at 7:00 p.m. This will be a fun
and exciting social hour that will create unity within the youth. It
will be held in front of each APA’s stalls. A dish or snack should go
with the theme each APA chooses for “Holidays”. Also, remember that
stall decorations will be judged from Tuesday to Friday at 12:00 p.m.
Announcement of the winners and awards will be given at the Youth
Awards Luncheon.
Please plan to attend
the PHBA Youth Association National Convention meeting on Saturday
