Committee Reports :
Championship Horse Show : Steve Tibbetts The contract for the fair has been signed and sent back to them . The State Fair bill for Champ Show had several increases and Steve was able to negotiate the pricing . The police costs increased as well as the rental of the buildings . Parking went up , and this is a cost that is not passed on to the exhibitor . We are trying to keep the costs to the exhibitor the same and the offset would be to increase our sponsorships . In 2-3 years when stalls are paid off , things will cash flow better . Champ Show was down 100 entries from the previous show .
Computer : Jake Flodquist Absent . Nothing to report .
