(Picture-Casandra Jakubiec -(my daughter!) and PR Impressive Jewels (born and bred right here in the Cariboo-Painted Rose Ranch-Thanks Ron and Ceci!) Kamloops, 2007 NRHA beginner winner)Here is a list of the 2009 Shows on the High Point Series for the WCRA. You get points for each show you attend, and place in WCRA classes. The points add up for year end awards at the annual banquet, held each fall. WCRA provides awesome prizes for shows and for high point winners.
May 8-10, 2009
Peninsula Rockslide
Saanichton, BC
This show is the long standing first show on the WCRA circuit, and the island club always puts on a great show! A full slate of WCRA classes, as well as open, non pro, and youth classes, and NRHA approved, with an NRHA judge. The main issue for some of us folk up here, is the cost of travel to the island. Hopefully, once we are up and running, we can cut costs to this show by buddying up with trucks and trailers as well as accommodation costs. You can get more info on this show at http://www.peninsulareiningclub.com
June 12-14, 2009
Riverslide
Kamloops, BC
This show will be part of the high point series. More information will be forthcoming, and I will post info here as soon as it is available. You can also check the WCRA website for updated information
