If you build it

More than a year ago, Jennifer Scott and I set out to hold the best model horse show that the world Colorado has ever seen.

We rented the biggest, brightest hall we could find,

hired a judging Dream Team,

and assembled more than ten thousand dollars worth of prizes, some for winners...

and some to be given away raffle style.

We even created new technology just for this show!

After that, all we could do was wait and hope. We build the best show we knew how to build. Would the people come?

Fortunately for us, they did!

They came from near...

and far... 

and they did not come empty handed.

They brought horses,

dogs, 

cats,

Pokemons...

and even one memorable moose.

They didn't leave empty handed either. 

The competition was absolutely brutal. The classes were big and tough, and good placings were hard to come by. Still, we made sure that every single shower got something.

Of course, it wasn't a success only journey. The sound system wasn't delivered until midway through the day, Show Helper had a few glitches and the show ran really long. Despite all that, we ended up with a lot of really worthy champions...

and, I hope, a good time was had by all.

We built it. They came. And it was awesome. Thank you everyone for your amazing support!
