Angie,
I've been to most of the high schools in the county and put up reward 
flyers. My sister-in-law has several nieces and nephews at the local 
high school and you bet they and their friends are on a rampage about 
their little cousin's horses! The people at the post office even let me 
put up flyers, though they aren't supposed to. Several farm/feed/tack 
stores have offered vet supplies, feed and donations as well. Everyone 
I've talked to has been more than willing to put the flyers up and 
spread the word, except the local Wal-Mart (guess where I'm not shopping 
anymore!). Like I said in a previous post, this is a small rural 
community and I'm just amazed by the reaction and support we are getting 
from everyone.

Tonight I've been emailing the local TV stations and newspapers. I also 
took Maggie's advice and emailed several Michigan based hunting and 
horse publications. I've got one more city in the county to cover 
tomorrow with flyers.

I'll give an update again on how it's going in a few days. If anyone has 
anymore advice please let me know.

Thanks Again!

I drink a 50/50 mix of rootbeer and soymilk at the vetchecks.
