I was at Wilco today and picked up 3 purple hoof picks and 3 purple mini horse massagers. (BTW, I love to get back rubs with these )

OK, that is way too cute! I think I will have to get me one of those for a "basket". Let me see if I can order it through igive, that way I can earn some money for SAFE too. I think I already earned a little over 9 dollars for SAFE through igive.

I hate to be the dumb bunny but I am getting confused. What is the difference between a show prize, prize drawing and raffle? Aren't there going to be ribbons for those that place? Plus they get a prize? Or just the prize? Also are there entry fees? Okay so NO ONE answered my stupid questions. I am currently approaching other non-food sponsors requesting Gift Certificates or 'baskets' of stuff. Is there a form letter for this group? Also, if someone donates something are we suppose to send them the tax receipt thing? My mom is donating two sets of handmade very nice note cards that retail for $6.00 each. Who wants them?

Prize Drawing idea:
How about a horsey first aid kit? I know Coconut has an extensive list. ;D

I could probably put another first-aid kit together to use as a prize. I liked it very much the few times I've had to use it and it's been easy for other's to use too.
I've thought about Marketing these under my company name: Practical Kit Co....it is a KIT afterall!
I bring one to the next function and see what ya'll think!

Also, if someone donates something are we suppose to send them the tax receipt thing? Please approach sponsors and ask for MONEY! We can't pay for ribbons or rent the show grounds with gift baskets. The show has to take priority over the prize drawing, or there won't be a prize drawing. So please, everyone, concentrate on getting SPONSORSHIPS.

Jaybird Did we get bib numbers yet? I can start on that next week if we don't. Also did you get the gift cert from DeYoungs Sawdust? I will bring the Emerald Downs to Jamie's this Sat. (note to self: Bring GC to Jamie's, Bring GC to Jamie's ) we have numbers left over from last year, so that is not crucial. Yes I got the DeYoungs cert.

Plus they get a prize? Or just the prize? Also are there entry fees? Prize drawing and raffle are the same thing, we're not calling it a raffle because of gambling laws. Yes, we are giving ribbons. And yes, the participants pay entry fees. We have upfront expenses that need to be paid via sponsorships. The deal with this show, as well as other fundraising efforts, is that the rescue does not pay for expenses. So we need to raise sponsor money for the following: - show ground rental - insurance - ribbons and trophies - advertising - printing of posters and programs - volunteer shirts As for show prizes, I have changed my mind about the awards for the high point winners, and so I don't need 6 prizes to give away. But I do still want a few special prizes to give out. - for the Over-the-Hill division high point: the Emerald Downs cert - for the Leadline class winner: maybe the Oster set Laurie, you can have the rest, okay?

I went to Cenex in Lake Stevens today to put up the poster, and I did ask for a donation. They do not give monetary donations, but they did donate a $100 item, which I thought was quite generous. It's called the Kinetic power pack, and it includes 2 tubes of Conquer, which is a hyaluronic acid gel to give to your horse, Revive sports rub, and Chondrogen EQ, which is a joint supplement, with HA, glucosamine, and chondroitin...when I go to Marysville, I will see what they can do, too. ;D

Are you still in need of $$$s for the show? If so, what is the best way to donate? I have about 500 volunteers and various businesses that I work with and might be able to tap for funds but I need to make it easy for them and - they may prefer to send check/MO/cash by post rather than using the Internet. Do you have a promo request for funds that I should use or may I word it myself?

I just picked up a little VSI equine first aid kit to be used as a prize if any are still needed.

Olson-Mills is donating 5 embroidered baseball caps - maybe we can add these to the prize-drawing baskets??
