Update December 5,
2012
2012 Annual Membership
Meeting Update hosted in Snyder, Texas by Bob & Carolyn
Barbee.
New update from Carolyn
explaining details and requesting your help by notifying her
of your intentions concerning attending, displaying and
showing animals. Please help by calling her with your
intentions and schedule as soon as possible.
Wanted to update you on
our planned National British White Convention to be held in
Snyder, Texas on June 8 and 9, 2012.
I have secured the
Scurry County Coliseum Livestock Annex for the meeting. We
will have access to indoor cattle pens with easy access to
load and unload so I hope to have dozens of cattle to
display.
I have reserved a
block of rooms (#30) at the Baymont Inn and Suites. IF we
have 30 rooms filled, we have a rate of $69.95, for 1 King
or 2 Queen at same price. Includes breakfast plus our
Chamber of Commerce will provide “extra perks” for us based
on “heads in beds”!!!!
My application to the
Chamber for funds must be made by the end of January and I
plan to ask for at least $3000. This can be used for any
promotional matter and unused funds must be returned. We
qualify based on what information I can give them at that
time. We can get more rooms now if need be but we
expect most all of the Snyder hotels will fill up soon.
If members are even
considering attending, I need to know ASAP. This is not a
guarantee right now, but I do need an estimate. Members and
guests please call me at 325-573-6733 home or my cell
325-207-0113.
As we talked about
before, Snyder is holding its annual Western Swing Festival
at the Main Coliseum starting Wednesday of that week thru
Saturday. (June 6, 7, 8 & 9, 2012). Swing has something for
all ages and children are welcome. I will talk to the
promoters to secure group discount passes to all swing
events.
A full agenda of
western music and dance will be held less than a block from
where we will be.
Last year they had
over 2,000 from all over the nation to attend this annual
event. More Western Swing Information available on
Internet.

If any of our member
families want to attend this, I need to know to extend their
room reservation.
An authentic chuck
wagon meal with all the cowboy fixings is planned for Friday
night so that will be something different for our folks.
Snyder’s closest
airports are in Lubbock and Midland-Odessa and I am working
on arrangements to pick up any of you who wish to fly in.
I want this to be the
best ever convention.
We need to have a
good representation of members to impress the Swing
attendees who will venture over to see our wonderful
cattle...WIN-WIN- eh
I will send each
member a pack regarding the agenda as soon as this is made
available to me.
I plan to have free
caps and maybe T-shirts for members upon registration and
booths and display area will also be available.

Carolyn has put a lot of
work and effort into hosting this meeting and is just
getting started so please give her your help.
As noted above this is
not a guaranteed commitment to the hotel on your part at
this time, that will come later. Carolyn just needs and
advance estimate for all the detailed planning. Most all of
the additional help, advertising funds etc she can get is in
direct relation to how many folks will be attending. This
needs to be applied for well in advance and presented in a
timely manner.
If you would like a
Vendor Booth and/or RV Parking please see this webpage for
Vendor Form and RV Form .

Let’s all pull together
and make this the biggest British White event ever in both
cattle numbers and people numbers.
Please call Carolyn at
your earliest convenience.
