Outdoor classes Sunday were impossible. Classes were shuffled around, some classes were canceled, and everything was moved inside. The final tally financially hasn t been released yet. Refunds were given to riders that ended up with cancelled classes and leniency to riders who had scratched after the day sheets were posted. We are hoping we haven t gone too much in the hole. Stay tuned after the meeting sometime in the summer for an update. effort to make the 25 th Silver Anniversary the best ever.
