Wednesday Mini Mag

September 27th was KHC Region 1 Gathering, at Colby Community College, coordinated by Shanda Mattix. Ms. Amberley Snyder flew in to speak at Colby Community College about her personal journey through "Walk Ride Rodeo". Amberley is incredibly personable and caring and a true inspiration. This event was nothing short of an incredible success!

There were probably 250 people spread out on the lawn for an outdoor evening presentation.

The event occurred from 6:30pm to 10:00pm.

Shanda did a great job coordinating all the arrangements. Shout out to Colby Community College Campus for Event Support,

CCC IT Dept. for outdoor projection/screen & sound, plus Livestream on the Colby Agriculture FB page, Amberley's travel arrangements made possible by Peoples State Bank of Colby and Thomas County Farm Bureau, and the Colby Equestrian Team for help with set up, snack and drink serving, merch sales, and tear down! Shanda presented opening comments on behalf of Colby Community College, Justine Staten presented briefly about KHC, then Amberley presented for about 45 minutes. The takeaway from Amberley's presentation is that Life hands us a bag of surprises. She demonstrated this with a group of kids called forward to draw surprises from her Purina bag. The message conveyed is that some things you draw from this bag can be good and some can be less desirable. What you do with it is up to YOU! A great inspirational message. The kids drew candy bars, and feathered boas and sometimes something confusing. They then had to respond or act out something related.
