Appreciating Horses
Sid~
Thank you so much for presenting at Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park. I am pleased that of the 33 in attendance, 25 were from local communities – people choosing to drive and attend a program knowing it would rain. I know we all enjoyed the event and please thank Sam for bringing the “stars” of the show (not to say that you weren’t wonderful- you were great!).
Again, thanks,
Rhea K. Armstrong
Asst. Manager, Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park
