Wowsers! What a week we have had. Now the dust has settled we can reflect on what a brilliant event WA ABHA State Championships was. 🥰
It takes a village to run these event and what a village we have.
Jodie Gallacher, has volunteered her time for multiple events. You will often hear Jodie encouraging the youngsters and helping others in and out of the arena.
Rebecca and Marty Dawe, both worked quietly pitching in to rake drums and help with packing away.
Paul Casey, the voice of WA Rodeo. We didn’t have to ask him twice. I think he secretly didn’t want to listen to Tenika all morning.
Kayla Long Groves, Elizabeth Dorazio and Renee Dihm all pitched in on Friday helping set the course and moving sprinklers.
Wade McCarthy, the man of many talents. Just expected to do all the “things”. He acts grumpy but secretly loves the tin spinning.
Shannon Langridge, not only sponsors our event but she came down to cheer on her fellow Cowgirls and helped rake drums.
Xanthe and Regan Langridge, you might not be able to see Xanthe because she is of small stature but you can definitely hear her. Seeing as she loves to be so loud we stuck her as Chute boss.
If you were lucky enough to get a sausage sizzle, you can thank our chef Regan Langridge. He made sure the drinks were cold and the food was sensational.
Heidi Brown, our singing superstar. Giving us a beautiful rendition of the Australian Anthem. I don’t think there was a dry eye. 🥹
Lastly our Committee. There may be only four of us but the endless hours put in are so greatly appreciated by everyone. You did a marvellous job leading up to this event.
If you see any of these lovely people about please thank them. We cannot run an event without our volunteers. ❤️
Our next jackpot will be held in November. We hope to see everyone there with their beautiful smiling faces. 🤗
