Empress Annual Meeting November 6-8, 2009

[designer chins]

I may have to buy more tickets for the raffle!! Although stowing her away in my carry-on if I win is not going to work...

 

[brenda]

Hmm - as thinking the same thing, Wendy. Maybe Vicki would be sweet enough to hold her until the Boone show for one of us??? hehehehe

 

[designer chins]

OR: A Missouri Road Trip!!! :dance3:

 

[brenda]

Oooohh - I like the way you think...

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

Missouri road trip!!! Missouri road trip!!! :dance3: I like that idea. I will be glad to bring one home and take it to Boone for you to.

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

I won't get to see everyone this weekend. Won't be able to come to the Annual. My Aunt passed away and there is to much to be done here. I'll miss seeing everyone. Have fun and I'm sure you will learn lots to. Wendy and Brenda, I'm putting Bob in your capable hands to babysit. Did I really say capable? Anyway, I wish everyone a safe trip. :cry3:

 

[designer chins]

Oh, Vicki I am so sorry to hear that you lost your Aunt! We will miss you very much in Colorado, but my thoughts & prayers will be with you. Please reassure Bob that I will take pity on him and be fairly quiet. No promises on Brenda!

 

[brenda]

So sorry to hear about your aunt, Vicki! I hope everything goes well for you at home. You will surely be missed.
I can't guarantee anything as far as Bob goes, though. Sorry.

 

[Lynn & The Chins]

Oh, Vicki I'm so sorry about your aunt.

You will be missed at the meeting. Don't worry about Bob -- I'll be glad to join Wendy and Brenda as one of his handlers!!! :Thinks, "Uh-oh, this could be trouble: !!!

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

Lynn, thank you. I think a better word would be keeper. Have fun, wish i were there. :cry3:

 

[brenda]

Having a great time in Ft. Collins!!! Ellis - we sure wish you were here!! And Vicki, too!!!
I see a road trip to Missouri in my future....

 

[MerrittChinchillas]

Sounds like you are having a fun and informative meeting out in beautiful Colorado. Bob said Wendy's seminar was really good. He also said he was very impressed with Taylor and her friends presentation. Hope someone is taking pics and will put them up. :thumbsup:

It was an awesome time! The Colorado Branch really put on a remarkable presentation! Some of the highlights were Windy's informative presentation on the rewards of being very particular with a small group of animals to win the highest awards!
I also think the young ranchers presentation was terriffic! Sydnee and Taylor proved to be throughly competant in the discipline of chinchilla ranching and proved to be just as educated and researched as any adult Rancher! Good job guys, keep it up, you're the future of the industry!

 

[designer chins]

Dan, you spent too much time in the car with Bob: you can't spell! Or Bob's sense of humor rubbed off on you, which is even worse!! :neener: Regardless, thank you for the compliment--I was NERVOUS!

Awesome annual meeting, and the Colorado Branch did a fantastic job hosting!! Thanks to all who made it an amazing experience for us all. :thumbsup:

Connie and I got home about 11:30pm Sunday a very long trip, but we loved it and learned alot. All the speakers did a great job. On the way home we were already planning how our next trip to Colorado would go. We've decided that we are planning on leaving a day earlier and to stay a day longer so we can take some extra time to drive around and see some of the great sites. We would like to thank everyone that helped put this on.

 

[brenda]

I got home pretty late Sunday, too, but it was all worth it! It was so nice to see everyone again and I learned a-lot as usual.
I agree with Mike and Connie - I should remember to stay til Monday so I can get the whole weekend in! lol
Thanks to the CO branch and everyone who spoke and helped to put on a great weekend!
