NOQHA Spring Extravaganza comes in Hot!

 The NOQHA Spring Extravaganza and Level 1 Novice show was well attended with stalls and RV hook-ups sold out.  A pizza party sponsored by OQHA was held on Thursday evening for all exhibitors and an ice cream social sponsored by NOQHA was held on Saturday afternoon for all. 

 The competition was as hot as the weather as this was the last week-end for Youth World in-state qualifying. The temperatures soared into the 90’s for the first time this season. Prizes for all exhibitors placing 1^st– 6^th under all 4 judges were available along with special prizes for the small fry and lead-liners.  Hundred dollar incentive vouchers donated by OQHA, Gut Health products donated by Tom Hall, and random prize drawings were also given.  Judges were Sissy Anderson, Tony Burris, Bennie Sargent, and Bruce Walquist

The NOQHA Novice show was ranked in the top ten for 2017 and we look forward to it being top ten for 2018. The Hi Point winners for the Level 1 Extravaganza were;
