When the Clay County Lucky Trailblazers 4H Club visited us on Feb. 21, they told us about an event they are producing. And I promised you some more info. So here it is:

It is the first annual Lassos and Legends on Saturday, March 7, in the Clay County Extension Office in Vermillion SD. Doors open at 5 p.m., meal at 6 p.m.

The Lassos and Legends event is an evening to pay tribute to a legend of the horse industry in South Dakota and to host a roundtable discussion featuring a veterinarian/equine chiropractor and area breeders/ trainers.

It is an evening to share with Frances Loiseau, breeder of Kristi Peterson's famous barrel racer "Bozo."

This event is planned with the following goals:
Empower our 4-H youth with a hands-on experience in marketing/producing an event in their area of interest.
Promote 4-H by recognizing area youth for their accomplishments.
Raise funds with proceeds going to facility improvements, local charities, and club advancement.
Honor a person who has accomplished much in the equine industry.
Provide a venue for people of all ages to broaden their horizons in the equine field.
