I need photos of all the exhibitors!!
It can be a photo with your horse from a show, or a graduation picture... it is up to you.
Please scan (if you already have a digital file - that is awesome) and email back to me at this address.
The bigger the better... no web graphics will be allowed.
If you provide me with a graphic that is too small to use, I will ask you to resend.
The photos will be used for a banner for the stalls. I will design a 'rock star' themed banner that represents Minnesota for our stall area. I am also toying with the idea of making t-shirts for everyone... they would be white with probably the same graphic that the banner will have on it. Please send me your t-shirt size. If I don't hear back from you on this by July 15 or so, I will order you an XL...

The theme for this years stall decorating is 'Rock Your World'... any ideas would be greatly appreciated for decorations, etc.

Please call me with any questions you have!
I am super excited for this strong bunch of exhibitors to be heading to OKC!!!
