Tuesday, August 4th Jr. Fair Horse & Pony Schedule

In Memory of Dottie Bourne

"Good afternoon/evening, everyone.
It means so much to my family that you've joined us to honor my Nana, Dottie, who we lost this past January. She was never the biggest horseback rider, but she knew how to sew a mean costume. So, before we debut all of the costumes, I just want to take a moment to remember Nana today.
The fair feels a little different without our Dottie here, but we can still find traces of her everywhere: in the fried potatoes that my family attempts (and fails) to successfully recreate, in the homemade ice cream she loved from midway, and in the laughs we all share. Although we miss her every single day, I know she would be smiling to see all of us gathered here doing something we love. 4H has always brought people together, and that's exactly what Nana loved most—bringing people together and celebrating the wins, no matter how small.
Today's class isn't just about competition. It's about remembering an incredible woman whose love continues to live on through all of us. Thank you all for helping us celebrate her life and keep her memory alive. We are so grateful for your love, support, and for being here to honor such a wonderful woman."

❤️ Thank you for sponsoring this class in Memory of Dottie.
