Promotional Goals for the year 2020
Booth at the Bonner County Fair – Laurie Tibbs reported the Fair will be held 8/19/2020 – 8/22/2020. Booth price is $75.00. After discussion a motion was made by Denise Cummings and seconded by Merisa Turnbaugh to have a booth at the Bonner County Fair. Motion was passed.
Booth at the North Idaho Fair – Roxzene Bockstruck reported she spoke to Alexia Jordan. The spring fair will not be held this year, the fall fair minimum booth price is $350 and no guarantee of where it would be placed. She suggested we look into a display, sponsorship or advertising at their open horse show. She will bring our interest to their committee and will get back to Roxzene.
Booth at the Interstate Fair – Denise Cummings reported the booths are approximately $1000.00+. It was discussed and agreed it was too expensive to pursue.
Booth at the Spokane 4-H Tack Swap (March 14,2020) – Denise Cummings reported booth price was $80.00. Motion was made by Merisa Turnbaugh and seconded by Denise Cummings to forgo due to the fact that most people go to tack swaps for tack and not promotional booths.
Arabian Horse Month, May – Barbara Tibbs reported to use the website she requests that our members supply her with favorite horse related books, movies, personal pictures and stories for daily features. She will have a mock up to present at our next meeting. Barbara will investigate setting up a booth at the IEAHC May show.
