Hey Everyone!
Wow, Another month has flown by! I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and staying busy. The court and I have been especially busy attending horse shows and various events throughout the weeks and weekends. We recently were in the Belle Plaine BBQ days parade and could not have more fun! I rode my 3 year old“ Socks” and she handled everything like a champ! It was so great to see some new and familiar faces in the crowd as we rode by.
We have also been preparing for our upcoming horse show on August 13th at JRD Ranch in Arlington! We have amazing prizes 1st-6th place, high point awards for every age division, and money added to the Jackpot classes! We also have two bonus classes for dads, the show was originally scheduled as a“ Father’ s Day” show but due to heat we decided to reschedule, but keep the theme! We hope to see everyone there for an extremely fun-filled day!
Another quickly approaching event is the WSCA royalty banquet held the day before our show( August 12th) at The Mermaid Event Center in Mounds View, MN. This is a great event to attend to support a saddle club member, horse show friends, or a family member, or maybe you would like to run in the future- this is a great event to attend to gain some insight to what your contest would look like. It is crazy to think that a year ago I was in the position of preparing my speech and studying for the interviews! RSVP for this great event by August 4th. The form can be found on Facebook, WSCA. org, or reaching out to any of the court members! Tickets are $ 22 and includes a delicious dinner.
This event is a huge step into the next part of the royalty contest and I know the contestants would love all the support they can get. Another reminder about the royalty contest- buy those raffle tickets! These raffle tickets help a ton in off-setting some of the costs for the newly crowned royalty, as well as benefiting WSCA. Talk to any of the contestants running to get your hands on some tickets, if you are having trouble finding someone, let me know and I will point you in the right direction!
Our events are quickly dwindling down and the court and I are trying to soak up every moment together as our reign comes to a close. We have a great event coming up on August 20th to support the Special Olympics and I am so excited! I will have more information on that event as it gets a bit closer, but we cannot wait! As Champshow continues to approach, I cannot help but think about the amazing year I have had representing WSCA as your Queen and Ms. Conge- niality, and how much I will truly miss this amazing experience but I am so excited for the new court to have this opportunity. WSCA Queen was something that I had always wanted to achieve and now that my time is almost up, it’ s such a bittersweet feeling. I hope to see you all at some upcoming events and wish you the best of luck for the rest of the summer!
God Bless! Emily Berger 2021-2022 WSCA Queen & Ms. Congeniality
