Presenting the MKYRA 2009 Year Book....   Please see Michelle Wansing if you have not had your picture taken yet.  She is still missing several kids.    This will be in the same format as a school year book with "head shots" a group picture of each age group PeeWee, Jr & Sr.  One action shot of each child and some candid pictures taken around the rodeos. Plus extra blank pages for  your friends to sign.    Begining at the rodeo at the Rawhide rodeo this weekend (07/25 & 07/26), Michelle Wansing will be taking the "head shot" pictures at her trailer so the kids can wear what they want for their picture.  We will also have one "action" shot of each child in the year book and if they would please go to Good Ole Days web page when it is up or check with Christine at the rodeos she said they could pick one picture for the year book and let her know which one they want and she will get them to me for the year book.  Or send Michelle Wansing a picture of your choice to put in the 2009 Year Book.    If you have any additional questions, please contact Michelle Wansing.  More information to come on deadlines for pictures and pricing.
