| Active in Washoe County since 1989, the Silver Knolls Spurs 4-H Club concentrates on the development of horsemen through educational meetings, attendance at clinics and judgings, participating in riding lessons and field trips. Community service is a priority in this club which includes children from the ages of 5 through 19, pre-school to college sophomores. Two horse shows, an endurance ride and a large horse tack sale are hosted annually by the Silver Knolls Spurs 4-H club youth and parents. Many thousands of dollars have been given back to the community from these fund raisers, some of the events going on for 19 years. Dates for 2008 community activities include: February - Tack Sale April 19 - Diamonds in the Rough Horse Show for novice riders and novice and green horses October - Autumn Antics Horse Show/Play Day games on horseback for all riders October - 10 Mile and 20 Mile Endurance Rides The Silver Knolls Spurs generally meet for business meetings monthly at the Joe Mitchell Community Center in Lemmon Valley on the first Monday of each month. Meetings, starting at 7 p.m., include demonstrations and project talks where members share their knowledge, an educational program, calendar updates, business decisions and refreshments. |
