Countdown to Kentucky Round-Up

What's Kentucky Round-Up?

No Weather on Saturday.. at all.

We've been watching the weather closely for about a week and a half now.  Will Kentucky Round-Up be buried by snow?  Will it be skated by ice?  Will it be heated by abnormally warm temperatures (which is NOT good for a winter horse event because horsemen will want to ride rather than attend)?

And Kentucky, true to its form, will not give us any definitive answer.  A weekend of frigid, followed by a warming pattern sending temps into the 50's, followed by wind and rain and plummeting temperatures.  

I just went to the weather.com local forecast page, and then the WLEX weather forecast page on the web and got a page error on both  (yes, my internet connection is OK).

So apparently we are not having weather on Saturday.  Hmmmmm...

Uh Oh, does that mean the Mayan calendar was just off a teensy bit and tomorrow is the end of the world?  I wish!  I could sleep in then.

No, we are ready for Saturday and our only problem (almost a problem) is TOO MANY VOLUNTEERS!  Do I dare say that out loud?  They are coming out of the woodwork!  At the last minute.  But that's good, right?  Yes, but they all need to be kept track of, assigned real tasks, provided TShirts and entry tickets.... so it IS a challenge.  We'll manage.  We'll need them all next year anyway, so it is good to have their names.

Onward!  Til tomorrow.....
