Hi all:
I'm mostly recovered from the Expo now, and thought I'd let everyone know how
it went. In short... We all had a BLAST!!
Our theme this year was Owning a Fjord is pure paradise and our decorations
were all tropical. We even had SAND as the floor of our booth! (thanks
Catherine, for robbing your arena!) Our stalls were all decked out in ocean
blue,
with fish nets full of colorful sea creatures, tropical flowers and tiki
torches
on the fronts. Our booth had a seascape backdrop, sand for the floor, palm
trees and a hula skirt bordered table. The floor was decked out with blowup
puffer fish and colorful leis, to give out to the kids, filled a treasure
chest
at the front. All our crew (Maggie McLaughlin, Pam Adler Chuck Weishoff,
Shawna Smith, Catherine Lassesen, my dad Bud, Reesa, Darlene Becky - sorry
girls I'm a bust with last names! - and myself) wore Hawaiian shirts and leis
at
the booth. (Sorry if I forgot anyone...)
We also dressed in tropical style for our demos, with tropical flowers and
hula skirts on the horses! Maggie rode English on her mare Hannah, Shawna rode
Petra western and trailed a packhorse (Nikki) loaded with treasures picked up
along the beach, Pam drove her gelding Aesir to an antique buggy, Dad I drove
our Emily and Taffy to our wagonette, and Catherine surfed behind two
geldings (Tor Grabben) being ridden Roman style by Reesa - both dressed in
Hula
outfits - to Elvis' Rock-a-Hula! Darlene, Becky and Chuck were our much
appreciated ground crew. (I hope I didn't miss anyone...)
The Expo management once again requested us to participate in the Friday
night Extravaganza, so Catherine and Reesa did the Roman riding and surfing
bit
with a little twist... Catherine was dressed as ELVIS!! The crowd loved it.
As in past years we had many people tell us that the Fjords were the
highlight of the whole expo!! That's always nice to hear.
I'd like to again thank everyone who came and brought horses or just helped
out. You are all greatly appreciated!! THANK YOU!!
