      Location: Midwest Farmer's Daughter: Central Illinois | A few quick pictures of Amy & her daughter Suzanne. Every time Suzanne would run her pony she would ask "Did you seem me go fast?" & Amy would say "Yes I sure did!"

          Location: Kentucky | I will donate a bottle of Chambord Vodka with some lemon/lime Perrier waters, if you think it would be appropriate? Some folks don't like alcohol in their silent auctions. Either way is fine with me. |

Murphy - I think that would be fine. You can call one of the contacts (Kristen/Steve/Justin) for specifics. |

Glad to help. I ship out a lot of liquor to auctions, and in my experience, it raises a lot of money. I'm hoping this will be no exception! I hope you guys get a big turn out for the barrel race too! |
