I'll start the discussion on the MWFHC's Winter Meeting that was just in IL last weekend. First off, AS USUAL it was wonderful to see everyone. Wish more would have come but we ended up with around 45 GREAT Fjord Folks. I mean how could you not enjoy yourself when you are surrounded by Fjord Owners. The weekend consisted of a clinic with 3 speakers. An animal communicator, an animal chiropractor and an equine dentist. I'm rather a skeptic on animal communicator, not totally but...I've never had one of my animals read and never met an animal communicator in person, so maybe not a skeptic but just ever uneducated in that subject. I thought Asia was a really neat person, you could tell she knew what she was doing and was good at it. She spoke to us about what she does and why and a little how. It was very interesting and she was a very good speaker. In the afternoon she gave private sessions to those that wanted their animals read. Afterwards, everyone seems to have the same thought, "how did she know some of those details??" and you kind of got the hairs on the back of you neck to stand up. It is amazing if nothing else. She is a neat lady. Next the animal chiropractor talked to us about adjustments and why chiropractic. She also was VERY good and knew her stuff, plus a good speaker. She then adjusted 2 Fjords in front of us. Last was the equine dentist, she also talked to the group and worked on a Fjord as well. She was just like the other 2, VERY good. I believe everyone was educated and everyone had a nice time learning. During all this, we had a tack swamp. Many members brought in items to sell and even though rather small, there was over $2000 sold. I , of course, helped with that number, as I bought a GREAT blanket liner. All my husband asked was did you sell more then you bought??? Actually this time I did!! I was impressed with myselt this weekend. Although I did have my eye on Bob G's harness but someone else bought it. She needs it more then I. After our clinic, we had a Wonderful dinner at the hotel, and then a band for our entertainment. We have some REALLY good dancers in our club too. Sunday morning brought our meeting and breakfast, again Wonderful food and I think a VERY productive meeting. It was rather long, but when you only meet twice a year, there is lots to cover. I would encourage everythign to watch for their newsletter that will be coming out in the near future. LOTS of great information in there, and if you have not paid your dues, PAY them! You don't want to miss out on future events. NEXT year's winter meeting is already in the planning and it's gonna be one you will WANT to attend! Lots of hands on, Lots for the youth of our club, a real family affair with something for EVERYONE. Ok, probably wrote enough, was a GREAT time, we have a GREAT CLUB!!!!! If i missed something I am sure someone else will fill it in. THANK YOU EVERYONE who helped put on this winter meeting and to everyone who came.
