Earl (EJ) Canavan- EJ lives in Rainier with his
mom, Sharon and sister, Tissa. He graduated
from Yelm High School in June 2009. Shortly
after graduation he enrolled in Bates Technical
College in Tacoma where he is studying to
become a Diesel Mechanic and Heavy Equipment
Repairman. This is a 2 year program. EJ bought
a new horse this year from Jackie Little, “Fling”.
He is quoted in his essay as saying “Fling is
definitely the best part of my life.”
David (Addison) Wenger- Addison lives in
Ellensburg with dad, Steve, mom, Jeanne,
sisters, Lauren and Analiese. Addison

allowed him to finish 2 years of college credits.
He is enrolling this fall in the Physics Department

and move on to Graduate School. Something
you may not know about Addison is that he was a
very good gymnast, but chose horses first.

Junior's! I have big plans for you this year!! We have already started the
year off with 3 very sucessful Gift wrapping Fundraisers. Four kids have
already raised enough money for their sweatshirts/coats and two more are
half way there. I am still open to any ideas that anyone may have for money
raising ideas. I still need to get an official date but sometime in February at
the Country Store in Lynden we are going to run the concession at their
Anniversary sale. I need to get a couple kids to run the stand. Volunteers
please!! I will be sending out an email as soon as I know the official date.
SUMMER PLANS:
• Silent Auctions- I'd really like to set up a few auctions at multiple
shows this summer. Kids please get things donated for this.
• Bake Sales and BBQ- I'd like to cordinate a Bake sale with a BBQ
at some shows. We can get a parent to volunteer to "man the BBQ". This
would happen at shows that don't already have a concession stand.
Larry's, Sumas, Wenatchee (if the stand isn't open) and North Bend, just to
name a few.
• Spaghetti Feed- I have been approached by some parents that are
wanting to do this. Let's get it together!! I think this would be a great way to
get everyone "sitting around the table"
• Buy a Junior- This is something that I came up with originally as a
joke, but then I kinda liked the idea...so here goes: Any Junior that wants to
be involved can be. Basically you will put yourself up for auction and
whoever buys you gets "ownership" of you for a day at a show. They can
do whatever they want with you. Make you wear silly outfits, make you
brush and saddle their horse, make you feed for them. I was thinking we'd
sell Juniors Friday night at State Finals and then they have Saturday or
Sunday to "serve" whoever bought them. This could be extremly funny!!
• Barrel Race- I thougt that we might be able to co-sanction a 4D
barrel race with NBHA or BRND at one of the Sedro Woolley Shows this
summer and have the Juniors help run the race and in return be able to get
part of the proceeds. We would have to run it after the regular PSHA show,
so it would be a night race.
I would love to hear from anyone with ideas, comments, questions. I want
everyone to be involved and enjoy what we are doing this year!! You can
find me on Facebook, myspace, or email me at pshajrs@hotmail.com . I am
super excited about this year!! Also, if anyone is interested in being a
Pennisula rep. please get a hold of myself or Kortney Todd.
I don't know about you guys but I am ready for Summer!!!
