After a week of rain every day, we were a little more than worried about our celebration of National Day of the Cowboy Ride. Well, the sun shined all day, we had a slight breeze and an occasional shade tree. We had a wonderful ride.
Colby Stroud was the best dressed cowboy Sunset Feed and Supply from horse country donated his $100 gift card. Sandy Fobb was very cowgirl and earned herself a $50 gift certificate from Sunset Western Wear in Homestead.
Henry , Loralie (Augie's grandkids) and Justin ( Jackie's cowboy) Robbie's Feed in the Redlands had donated two $25 gift cards but, I was short one,, Luis Valdeon, one of our riders, donated $20 cash and all three had a prize. Thank you Luis.
As always, I want to offer a huge thank you to our tried and true, dedicated and very capable judges Ralph West and John Wilcox. Friends like them make me feel rich, in what really matters.
Now, Deda's Cowboy Day Quilt display. Besides the many local quilters that allow Deda to display their work, a good friend from Punta Gorda that has attended a Cowboy Day quilt show before had her quilt club from the west coast add some of their wonderful work as well. Pat Keating of Disconnected Piecer Quilt Guild in Port Charlotte brought 17 quilts and all needed display equipment across the ally for our enjoyment. Together they had 42 quilts. Marianne brought some quillows and Iva from the Fruit and Spice park displayed a really cowgirl dressed doll that many thought at first glance was a real child. Iva also donated a beautiful rearing cowboy statue for our next raffle. Thanks to Iva as well.
We are very lucky to have friends that add so much to our lives. Thank you all for coming out for the ride, the quilt show and the fun. And a very special thank you to those merchants that support us, Sunset Feed and Supply 7650 SW 117 av. in Kendall, Robbie's Feed 22390 SW 177 av. Miami and Sunset Country and Western Wear 16300 SW 296 St., Homestead.
