Punta Gorda Horsemans Association A P R I L 2 0 1 6 President s Message PGHA has decided to hold a Jackpot Barrel Race on Friday, April 15, 2016. This is sure to be a fun event and we hope we have a great turnout. Please see the flyer (enclosed and on our FB page) and make sure you share this information with all your friends. Gilbert Holland will be back prepping the Clay arena and dragging for our remaining Speed shows as well as the Jackpot show. We know the ground has been pretty bad for some of the shows and we are confident this will fix that problem as in the past, when Gilbert was in charge of the grounds, it was always in pristine condition. The Banquet date has changed to Sunday. As there is a big AQHA show on Saturday and most of our Performance show winners would not be able to attend. More information on the Banquet will follow. Wish lists for Year End Awards should be available at the next shows.
