Rutherford County Christian Relief Association

A reader submitted this announcement so you can schedule some time for charity and pancakes in a week.

The Rutherford County Christian Relief Association is sponsoring a pancake breakfast on August 18th at the Smyrna Rescue Squad building on Front Street, 7:30-10 am, $5.00 in advance or at the door. The RCCRA is a non-profit disaster relief organization.

I went last month to the Smyrna Rescue Squads building for a fund raising fish fry and I enjoyed myself immensely.

The good news is that for one day you don't have to cook or touch the dishes. Let them do it.

Chris Cox "Come Ride the Journey" Tour Rolls Into Murfreesboro

(Mineral Wells, TX, June 27, 2007---)After a highly successful launch to his "Come Ride the Journey" tour in 2006, Chris Cox has expanded this year's schedule to include 11 cities around the country. The 2007 tour rolls into Murfreesboro, Tennessee for the weekend of July 21 & 22 at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum.

Chris just won Road to the Horse, the enormously popular colt starting challenge in Murfreesboro, back in March. You've seen him at expos across the country and on his regular RFD-TV program. Don't miss the opportunity to catch this widely respected horseman and clinician up close and personal for two full days of learning, entertainment and inspiration. You'll have the chance to meet Chris during the daily Q&A session and as he signs autographs.

Experience a variety of demonstrations in a casual and relaxed setting as Chris shows how to get results with any horse. His proven methods are easy to understand and effective. Best of all, he makes it possible for everyday horsemen and women to master techniques that can dramatically improve their horsemanship skills and increase their confidence.

In addition to breath-taking advanced horsemanship demonstrations, Chris shows you step-by-step how he starts a young horse. He also uses his down-to-earth training methods to help turn around problem horses. Trailer loading trauma? Chris demonstrates how to load any horse calmly and easily to avoid stress and injury. Saddle horse thinks he's a bronc? Chris takes a local horse with "bucking issues" and shows the crowd, along with the horse's owner, what causes the problem and how to put an end to it.

At just $25, tickets for the two-day weekend tour stops remain an incredible bargain. Tickets are Buy One, Get One Free, making it easy to bring a friend or family member. Seating is general admission. Children 14 and under admitted free with no ticket required. Activities start at 9:00 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday, and conclude at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

To purchase advance tickets, visit www.chris-cox.com and click on the 2007 Tour Info button. Demo horses with specific problems are needed in every tour area. If you're interested in submitting your horse for Chris to work with, you'll find this information in the same area on the website.

I think the part I italicised is very important for horse owners.
