BLOCK TIMES
Sign up for Block Time will be on a show-to-show, first come basis. The schedule will be available at the show office at 7:30 am for the current show only. We have members who want to work and have not been able to schedule a block because many were filled in advance for future shows. We should have plenty of blocks available for workers and we have also added 3 more positions per block that will need to be filled. Also, as our show season moves along many will be completing this requirement so we will still need workers for our laters shows. Please check the details of the Block Time requirements in this newsletter. This should give everyone the opportunity to fulfill their block requirement.
STALLS AND SHAVINGS
Effective at the May show, please sign in at the show office upon arrival to receive your shavings, stalls and/or tie outs. We will start a tab for you at that time and give you a receipt to present to Tim or Ron. You will need this receipt in order to get your shavings. If you plan on arriving the night before, Tim or Ron will be available for sign in. Please check in with us the following morning to make sure we have your correct information. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope this allows us to better organize our show.
ANNOUNCERS
We are always in need of announcers, so if interested please check at the show office early.
SIGN-UP
Please sign up as soon as possible for the halter classes. We will be starting at 9:00 am sharp and in order to coordinate with the announcer's box we will be announcing a cut off time for these classes.
SHOW RULE REMINDERS
General Rules: Numbers must be worn on the back and must be clearly visible at all times when in competition. Exhibitors without numbers will be disqualified.

This excludes weanlings in classes 3 and 4. The double-judged shows count for 2 shows. Each exhibitor will be responsible for working 5 blocks of time to quaify for Year-End Awards. For further details, please refer to Rule #13.
Show Rules will be strictly enforced and are further outlined in the 4-State Show Rules on the back of the 4-State Showbill and the 4-State Arabian Horse Show Association Show Rules.
