Throughout
the year CNPHA sponsors social events that are both entertaining and
educational.
INVITATION TO EUER VALLEY '08
"A
new and inviting adventure is being unveiled by the California/Nevada
Polled Hereford Association and all friends of the Hereford breed are
invited to attend. On the weekend of July 26-27, 2008. CNPHA will
host the 1st Annual Euer Valley Hereford Getaway. This 1,200 acre
valley is tucked away in the heart of the rugged Sierra Nevada
Mountains, 15 minutes from downtown Truckee, CA.
Euer
Valley is a majestic place, reflecting Mother Nature at her
finest. Rimming the valley floor is a beautiful pine tree forest
soaring hundreds of feet in the air. And, a crystal-clear
mountain steam slowly winds like a ribbon through the heart of the
valley floor.
The
'valley' is owned by a longtime friend of the Hereford breed, John
Euer. The historic Euer Valley was settled by John's ancestors
back in the l860's. Just like his ancestors, for many years John
brought his prized herd of purebred Hereford cattle from the home ranch
in Folsom to the Valley every summer to graze the lush meadows of the
valley. Now, John has opened the door for all to share.
It
is in this magnificent setting that CNPHA will host the two-day
'Getaway.' Activities will begin with a Saturday afternoon lunch,
followed by an informal and educational discussion with cattle
experts on such hot-button issues as the growing BVD epidemic, ways of
dealing with the chronic problem of pink eye and invaluable tips on how
to resolve calving problems and bring 'em out alive!
Later
Saturday afternoon guest are invited to bring along their favorite
horse and ride or hike the miles of scenic trails in Euer Valley, or
just sit back and relax in camp, playing horse shoes or visiting
with old friends and new acquaintances.
Saturday
night the social hour will include scrumptious hors d'oeuvres, hosted
refreshments and a delicious steak dinner. After dinner guests
can gather 'round the camp fire and be royally entertained by
nationally-known cowboy comedian - Sour Dough Slim. The weekend
event will conclude with a Sunday morning breakfast.
CNPHA
is offering a package rate of $60 per person, which covers all
three meals. RV and camping facilities for guests and their
horses are available through John Euer, at a very nominal fee. In
addition, motel rooms in Truckee have been blocked. For
information e mail CNPHA Secretary Karen Perrin at this address:
