This is just a reminder to all of you (as well as a few people who have been wondering about Pony Club) that we have a very special event this weekend! The January Thaw Equine Expo (www.januarythaw.com) is a fundraiser for the Children's Wish Foundation - and the horse community of New Brunswick puts on a fantastic day for everyone - there is a lot to see and do, not just for horse people 😊 It's held at the Fredericton Exhibition Centre. 
 
Pony Club has a booth, and I will be there the full day. Our booth has all kinds of Pony Club related stuff to see and talk about 😊
 
I will be there from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm (at the latest - last year we started tearing down booths at 4:15 because it was getting quiet) - so I encourage you to come check it all out! There are 70 different Exhibitors - you can shop too! There are bouncy horses to play on, demonstrations, and tons of information. Lots of raffles as well. 
 
If your child would like to "help" at the booth, they are welcome to do so. Please note that I stay at the Pony Club Booth all day, so I'm not able to supervise your munchkins if they want to go check out other booths, buy food, etc. - I ask that you determine whether your child can spend a long or short time there if  you're not staying with them! 
 
If they're coming, I'd love to see them wearing as much of their Pony Club clothing as possible. We are proud of our club and we want everyone to know who we are!! 
 
My cell number is 447-1763, and I'd ask that each of you text me so I have all your numbers. 
 
As I've indicated before, there will not be Pony Club at my place on Sunday (Jan 21) because I'll be away Saturday night and Sunday. 
 
If you have any questions, please let me know - otherwise, I hope you have a chance to visit this great horsey event in our community! 

Please be advised that we will have Pony Club tomorrow at our regular "winter hours":
Younger Members (6-9) 2:00 - 3:15
Older Members (10+) 3:30 - 4:45
As you know, it is bitterly cold. Everyone should be dressed appropriately (winter boots, snow or splash pants, THICK gloves or mittens (with those little handwarmers is even better) - and a good hat/balaclava.  (On a side note, I have FPC winter hats available for sale if your child brings $15.00 with them).  
A good idea is to check out a used clothing store for a "barn coat/snowpants" - used gear that is a little big on your child so you can layer underneath. That way they stay warm and you don't have to worry about them getting their good clothes stinky or dirty! 
A few reminders: 

1. In order to attend, your child's paperwork and fees must be submitted to me (they can bring them tomorrow if necessary). Please put all of this in an envelope or ziplock with your child's name on it!
2. Do not drive up my driveway to drop kids off, and do not turn around in my neighbour's driveway to leave...my street is a big loop, it takes 1 minute to drive up and around.
