    More than 70 of our barn family turned out for the annual Christmas Party, all of us cozily tucked into the main barn to shield us from the pouring rain. We enjoyed delicious food (foot-long sandwiches provided by Gretchen and Dennis and an array of potluck goodies from our barn family), drinks, and cheered our annual winners of the barn awards. This was the 15th year Gretchen, husband Dennis, and their son Justin have hosted the festivities. Click here to check out the list of annual rider award winners and photos of our family.
