Also....
Guess I get to tell "all" here. But...I plan on doing things alittle bit different to help accomodate everyone being able to get there
for the clinic in Athens for Ben.
Due to the sheer numbers of folks I taught last year (I think we had 32!!!)....if we get into these numbers again because NO ONE
will be turned away for this clinic if I have to stand there until 3 am...and you know guys...I never leave the arena and I WILL stand
there for hours, if thats what it takes. But if we get into these numbers....I am probably going to choose to put you into groupings
of 9am-12pm, 12:15-3:15, 3:30-6:30, ect......that way we get in 3 hours of consistant barrel work in one group, 10 per group.
I will get more into this later, but this way its solid work and then you are free to rest up for the barrel race the next day, and sitting
in your lawn chair listening/visiting or shopping when you get done.
I am putting together a full line up this year. We will have some guest speakers and I'm hoping we can fill Athens with vendors
who will want to come for some pre Xmas shopping. We have more time this year to get this going and I'm hoping that each
year you will join us as we attempt to do alittle something special for Ben. I want to make enough money that he receives his
something that maybe otherwise would not be afforded somehow. Tamet is a very special friend to me and to all of us here...
and I like to give alittle bit back to them as they give us a great place to go everyday.
BUT...I HAVE TO GET THRU THE RIDE AT THE RANCH DAYS FIRST...HAHAHA...AND START WORKING ON THIS SOON!!
