PLEASE NOTE: There will be a general membership meeting on Saturday, time TBA. Please also be advised that there is a Quarter Horse show going on this weekend at the fairgrounds in Moses Lake. Cutters need to park in the eastern RV spots, overflow in the rodeo arena RV parking spots.

Just a reminder to make your hotel reservations early for NCHA days!!  Mention "WCHA" to get the special rates with our 3 host hotels. If the hotel is hesitant with the advertised rate, use Tim Molitor's name as the hotel contact!

Stall requests for NCHA days will be available at the May show. Online requests are the preferred method, but due to the expected size of NCHA Days there will be a box of stall request forms in the secretary’s office at the May show!
Members can fill them out and turn them in at the end of the May show. Email confirmations will be sent for each stall request. If a member does not receive a confirmation that week they would want to follow up directly with Sharon.
