Gearing up for the Winter Carnival Classic Show

We are excited about the upcoming Winter Carnival Classic show at Quail Ridge and are busy with final preparations.  Hopefully we didn't use up all of the nice weather last weekend and will have a sunny day on the 5th.
As usual, the show is also collecting donnations for a worthy cause.  This time it is to help a very special family that is close to our hearts.  Many in the horse community know Sherry and Alexander Abrams, expecially those in the Athens area.  Alexander is the son of Warren and Linda Abrams, who own Pegasus Place Riding School in Milner.  I taught Sherry, daughter of Eddie and Kathy Wilson of Moreland, when she was a teenager.  Yes, I do have former students who are grown with children of their own!  Sherry and Alexander have two sons.  Aidan is six, and Bailey is four.

Alexander is in need of a liver transplant due to damage caused by an extended illness.  He was recently placed on a waiting list, and now he and his family are faced with the task of raising a portion of the cost.
We are taking both monetary donations and donations of horse and pet related items to be offered at an auction and BBQ at the UGA Animal Science arena on Saturday, March 5th.

You can view items for the auction at http://www.alexanderstransplantfund.weebly.com/ or contact kathywilson226@gmail.com.

Those who donate $25 at the QRF show will receive a mug, and those who donate $50 or more will receive T-shirt.  Please help support the Abrams family and this very worthy cause.

We look forward to seeing you at the show on the 5th.

Thanks,
Scott
