We did get an announcement on the rescheduled Breyerwest event however (to be held in October in San Francisco). August has 3 shows on tap. Delta Stampede-a new show hosted by Cindy Ruth in Stockton on the 28th, and 2 shows in the K.I.S.S. performance series, August 6th in Porterville (hosted by Jan Manning) and August 28th in Stockton in conjunction with Delta Stampede (hosted by Victoria Zanutto) ****** Region 3 (Pauline Entin) Hi all, July was a quiet month in Region 3, although several Region 3 members did make it out to Lexington for Breyerfest and all the associated festivities. Showing will pick up again this fall in Colorado. An all OF Breyer show was held on August 6th - I heard a highlight was that Karen Gerhardt brought some free goodies! Like Oprah! Two shows are planned for September - an edition of Red Devil Live and Rocky Mountain Rendezvous, Sept 3 and 10, respectively. A show was held in Provo, Utah also on August 6th - I haven't had a report on that show yet. Otherwise, no shows are planned for the region until possibly November. ****** Region 4 (Carra McClelland) No Report ****** Region 5 (Lyn Norbury) July was quiet in Region 5 with one show at Dewey, Ok., Indian Nations Live. Sorry, I didn't make it to this one, but have been told by many that it was a lot of fun, and of course, the cake was delicious as usual. No other news to report for July. ****** Region 6 (Jackie Moore) Hello All! There were no shows in Region 6 in July. Many folks made the trek to Breyerfest, and I hope that everyone that was able to go had a wonderful time! I'm sure plenty of Region 6 members made a good showing both at the Breyerfest Live show and at the Breakables show. Next up on the Region 6 calendar is a brand new show - Hollow Horse Live to be held August 27, 2011 in Cumming, GA. We are all excited about this new show in our region! ****** Region 7 (Stacy Faraci) July brought four shows to Region 7 along with Breyerfest! Between Breakables, Breyerfest Live, the Breyerfest Children and Youth show and Stone Age Live, choosing a show or two was hard! Fall is bringing at least three shows to our region, BOMB will be held on Sepetember 24th in Nicholasville, KY, Quarter Horse Congress Live will be held on October 8th in Columbus OH and Miami Valley Live will be held on November 19th in Lewisburg Ohio! Liz Cassel also has a Swap Meet Get Together planned for September 10th in Shepardsville KY which is just outside of Louisville. So mark your calendars Region 7 for what looks like a busy fall! ****** Region 8 (Marilou Mol) Hi, all! July was a sloooooooooow month in Region 8, with no shows held. However, many people from our region attended Breyerfest & Equilocity, and very much enjoyed their time! I was fortunate enough to invite and take along a person who had never been to Breyerfest before...of course, she loved it! We sometimes forget how special our hobby and the people in it are! Hope you are staying cool, and will be ready to start back showing in August! ****** Region 9 (Pat Coulter) No Report ****** Region 10 (Kate Cabot) No Report ****** Region 11 (Terri Wright) July brought to Western showers Lethbridge live, a staple show the past few summers in Southern Alberta. Participants traveled from as far away as Manitoba and the Northern states to enter this large show, graciously hosted by Bobbie Mosimann. Much fun was had by all, and we look forward to next year's event! In August Alberta showers get to look forward to Chinook winds Live, Hosted by the Greening family on the 13th and 14th of August.
