Editor:

I am a member and teen leader of the Delta-Diablo 4-H Horse Project. I would like to thank all of the sponsors for our annual Contra Costa County Riding Fair that was held last Saturday at Brentwood Oaks Stable. 4-H members from all over Contra Costa attended the event. Many qualified to go on to the Show of Champions at State Fair in July.

Thank you to Brentwood Oaks, all our project leaders, and our County Resource Leader Kay Tarango and former Resource Leader Mark Johnston. These sponsors also have helped with classes coming up next Saturday morning at the Contra Costa County Fair. Come on out and watch Saturday morning at 8 a.m.
