CTR: Region 1 Convention

[carol a barnes <cbarnes99@juno.com>]

Although many of you are not interested in NATRC, Region I is having its
Mini Convention on Saturday, February 26 (same day and close to the
Shine/Shine Ride) and although we will not have the vendors you will have
in Reno, Plush Seat Bottoms and Pony Express will both be there as well
as others.  Following is a brief agenda for the day:

++++

Region One of the North American Trail Ride Conference (NATRC) will be
holding it's annual convention this year at the Loma Prieta Community
Center in the Santa Cruz Mountains (between Los Gatos and Scotts Valley)

9:15 a.m.  Saddles and tack (Jim and Jan Jeffers - Pony Express)

10:15 am  Trail and zoning issues (Connie Berto)

	Note - I believe every one of the speakers have one or more Tevis
	            buckles and are members of AERC

1:30  pm   Vet's viewpoint (Greg Fellars and Mike Witt - both Tevis
veterinarians)

Convention attendees with campers and motor homes are welcome to "camp
