Royalty—Continued Show of Champions
CSHA Royalty at the 2015 Day at the Races
Greetings everyone, Royalty has been very ac- tive this year already! Participating in parades, appearances, selling raffle tickets to help the CSHA Drill Team program and our own pro- gram and our annual CSHA Day at the Races fundraiser was once again a blast! We did our hat contest and some of our own did an out- standing job getting into the spirit and walked away with some prizes. This year we were once again blessed to have our photo taken with not only the winning jockey but the winning horse! It’s happened only twice since I have been in- volved with Royalty and the attendant/host told me last time that it rarely ever happens! So it was quite an honor. The owners were uber ex- cited as was the crowd as this was this fillies maiden run and she was a 60-1 long shot! Once again I would ask our members to co- partner with us in promoting Royalty in your regions! Put ads in your newsletters encourag- ing youth to sign up for the royalty program, encourage enquiring parents to contact me or their region chairman to find out about our won- derful program. Scholarships are only one bene- fit and friendships that are built along the way that last for year! The youth are the FUTURE of CSHA, it is absolutely crucial to include then in the plan of fostering good will and participa- tion in all programs! Please remember to invite and even sponsor our royalty at your events and gatherings! What you invest in these youths will directly benefit you in ways you can never imagine.

The 2015 Chowchilla Spring Festival Parade will be on Satur- day, May 16 at 10:00 a.m. It travels down Robertson Blvd. from 15th St. down to First St. This year the parade will serve as the CSHA Championship Parade with the annual awards banquet to follow the parade. Schools, clubs, churches, businesses, and our CSHA equestrians will make their way down the boulevard with grand sights and sounds for the large crowds that line the main thoroughfare in Chowchilla. The parade is always on the annual Armed Forces Day and boasts a very large military display for the parade-goers. Mili- tary vehicles of all sizes can be found rumbling their way down the parade route. As a matter of fact, the Spring Festi- val Parade is the largest military parade throughout the state. 2015, ISSUE 3 NEWSLETTER TITLE PAGE 13 CALIFORNIA STATE HORSEMEN’S ASSOCIATION What is California State Horsemen’s Association, PO Box 1228 Clovis, CA 93613 Inc.?
