It started out with a bang! Thanks to all the great people who worked behind the lines, Spring Classics 2010 was a huge success. With the changing of venues from Camp<br />

Pendleton to the Circle RT arena in Glen Avon, Riverside area. Randy Young as show manager and Andy Krogh as assistant show manager along with Randy’s family and<br />

numerous people who stepped in to assist, made it a successful show. Kudos to all, I think you all know who you are!<br />

It started early in the week with prepping the ground. With Jerry Yunker taking his tractor down to the arena and Randy watering the ground, made it very fast and safe. It sure did<br />

pay off! Many great 3A+ and supreme times were ridden that weekend. Many riders were very surprised that they made faster rides than they were use to! Many riders came<br />

closer to reaching their goals for the season. Thank you so much Jerry & Randy! Also, Randy wants to send out a huge thank you to Bill Anderson for all his hard work with<br />

helping water the arena during the weekend.<br />

The parking lot layout with the chalk was done a few days prior by Randy Young and Diana Wehrli. As Friday rolled around, Dave Mettler made sure that everyone found a place<br />

to park and camp. It was tight but people were very understanding and accommodating. Thank you Diana and Dave!<br />

Friday came and we started our set ups on time @ 12 noon. Thank you to Janet Young and Rita Newell as the arena managers, we were done around 6pm. We averaged about 36<br />

riders.<br />

Saturday came and so did mother nature’s wrath. It was very calm in the early morning, but around 8 AM, the Santa Ana winds started to blow with gusts somewhere around 60<br />

mph. Some real good gusts forced us to change Fig. 8 Flags to Fig. 8 Stake. We started the show about 3 hrs. later @ 12 noon. Still with wind gusting off and on. We were able to<br />

run the entire day and finish up around 6 pm. We did manage to get our grand opening ceremony in before it got too windy. We were treated with a duo of our National Anthem<br />

sung by Rhyannon Young and her father Randy. They sounded very good together! Our state flag was carried by Monica Michaels and the US flag was carried by Madi<br />

Meadors. We also had Emily Harris a CGA princess present for the show to ride in grand entry and hand out the Hi Point awards with Randy Young. After the show the management<br />

enjoyed a fabulous Carne Asada burrito dinner with all the trimmings compliments of Randy Young and Conrad Fimbres.<br />

Speaking of great food! District 33 V-Spurs ran the most awesome cook shack. We had all kinds of great food to dine on before, during and after the shows. They had special<br />

dinners every night after the show. Very reasonable prices and nice folks to run it! Special thanks to the Krogh’s, Rosenberry’s and Anderson families for a super job!<br />

Sunday started at 8 AM sharp! we finished 8 events by 2:30 PM. Both Sunday and Monday were very smooth running shows. I want to send out a very special thank you to<br />

Kelly Pierce and Samantha Pidkowicz for assisting me. I also want to acknowledge Diana Wehrli and Cindy Hoffman for helping out with check ins. The office ran so smooth. Also<br />

thank you so much to all the workers who stepped up above and beyond to help make the events run smooth and fast. You are all great people!<br />

We also had a photographer come and take pictures of many riders for your pleasure. You can check those pictures out on her website @ jamiesnyderphoto.photoreflect.com.<br />

She took some real awesome pics! Thanks Jamie!<br />

Thank you to Ryhannon Young, Monique Fimbres and Korynne Perry for handing out awards and money all weekend. These girls did a fantastic job.<br />
