Money, money, money....
it does seem to make the world go around, and I don't quite have enough yet to build our new water complex. I do have a great contractor lined up as soon as the funds are all in place. I am determined for this new complex to happen. Right now, I need your financial support. You can make a donation to Greene Co. Parks earmarked for the water complex at Twin Towers and your donation can be tax deductible. Or, you can donate directly to Gemwood Events. (However, I can not offer you the tax break.) We need another $6000.00 to make this project happen! Please contact me if you or your organization, business, etc. can help!

Slow Motion....
ok... so, progress is moving a little slower than I hoped. sigh. I'm a bit discouraged, but, not about to give up on building a great new water complex for Twin Towers. Safety, design and future maintenance are all going into the plan to make the best water jump we can build. Being on public land, this complex has to stand up to lots of schooling in all kinds of weather and footing conditions. It's going to take more time to insure that it is done right.

Once we get the green light for everything and the complex is complete, I hope to host a clinic at Twin Towers to give riders the opportunity to school the water before our July 26-27 Gemwood Horse Trials. This project needs your support! Let Greene Co know how much you appreciate the improvements so far and how much you are looking forward to future improvements.
Contact me if you can offer financial support for this project.

Things are in motion...
For a new water complex!! The design is ready and I'm busy meeting with people who can make it happen! I am pushing for completion in time for our May horse trials. It's a real possibility.. so, keep positive thoughts coming that this will happen for Twin Towers. I'll share new information here when I get it.

Talked into it.....
I am finally learning my lesson that our fall dates just don't work for people. So, we will no longer try to put on an mid-October event. I have been asked for the last couple of years to offer a spring event to help fill up the calendar from the loss of Stillwater H.T. and Spring Paxton H.T. So, in 2008 we are going to do it. Greater Dayton will run May 17-18, 2008. I hope you can all attend as competitor, volunteer or spectactor. And......I'm hoping to be able to unveil a new water complex for this event!!

A big thank you to.....

Everyone who helped at 2007's work days. We rebuilt the Prelim. trakehner, modified the rolltops, reversed the N/BN corral jumps, stained several x/c jumps, etc. Here are some pictures of what we did built.
